I currently have two children at this school. A first grader and a third grader. This school could get a better rating, if it weren't for the assistant principal and a few teachers. She's not qualified for her position at all and has prejudice against "active" children. My son has ADHD, and so he has seen the principals office more than most kids. (Yes, I admit, he is a handful) When the principal is there, she is great at dealing with the situation, but when she is gone and the assistant is in charge, watch out. If your child gets in trouble, the assistant's solution is to just send them home. In her words, "she doesn't have time to deal with this." Also, the principal suspended my son from the bus for 5 days because of an incident (which was appropriate for what happened), but the day his suspension was to end, I get a notice from the assistant principal that his suspension is extended for another 3 days, and he had not done anything else wrong (he hadn't even been on the bus!). This was a particular hardship for me because I do not have a dependable vehicle & the asst. principal was well aware of this. I called her about it, and she even confused herself when trying to explain her reasoning behind extending the suspension. In addition, just yesterday, my son hit his eye on the gym wall during P. E. activities and was crying. He told the female gym teacher, who replied "I don't care" and didn't look at him or send him to the nurse to be checked. He arrived home with his eye swollen nearly shut and oozing. We go to the doctor in an hour. My daughter hasn't had quite the negative experience as my son (probably because she's not in trouble as much and just "lays low"), but I have noticed some issues with her as well. Like last week when the cafeteria ran out of milk, the assistant principal (yes, her again) wouldn't allow the kids to wait for them to bring up another case of milk (ok, gotta keep the line moving), but after the kids sat down to lunch without anything to drink, the assistant principal announced that no one would be allowed to get up and go through the line for milk, nor would they be allowed to go to the water fountain. So some of us parents paid for a full lunch for our kids and they didn't get it, and went thirsty until they got home from school. Let's not forget to mention their school buses that are FALLING APART! But I guess that's a school district issue, and not specific to a school. It's too bad we can't choose the schools our kids go to in a district, because I would definitely be moving my children to a better school!

PS - I also have a seventh grader, no problems with her schools. It's just Liberty that has the issues.
