GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

my experience here was very well, and I went through all four years and successfully made it through. I had many doubts when I was going through the classes, but even when I started to fail, the teachers were helpful. The school itself is lively, and has many good students and teachers in the school spirit is enormous, I highly recommend people to go here.

I have been very happy with my experience at Liberty these past 4 year. We have a wide variety of class options to pick from each year. My favorite classes have been zoology and fitness hike and walk. We could use more participation in sports but our theater department is absolutely amazing.

I am a sophomore at liberty high school and liberty high school is just a normal school. It is terrible with the Teachers. The teachers treat students like they're just there for the paycheck. I mean not all of the teachers are like this. But most of them are. I can name a few teachers. That are actually supposed to get paid more than usual teachers. Or I think they should to be honest. Liberty high school is not a school that I recommend. It is not fun. The food is terrible. I usually skip out on getting food most of the time I would say we need more lines for food and the hallways are worse. We need more staircases. They're always packed and we only have a 5 minute passing period to get to classes which is not enough time I mean I get that. They cut it down because they tore out all of our lockers last year but just having a fewer extra minutes to get to class is just what I would say would be nice. I 100% wouldn't recommend. If you are looking for a nice school in Colorado springs.
