    Liberty Common Charter School Reviews

    This is a rigorous school providing excellent coaching to students in obtaining necessary knowledge. The academic diversity to which I am exposed at the school is reinforced by the religious, political, and cultural diversity of the students, teachers, and staff. The administration ensures everyone here is welcome, and that diverse views are respected. My friends who complain about the school being too "conservative" never have examples, and I say they don’t like things like how we say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning, and that some kids (totally on their own) usually say grace before they eat their lunch. This school is sometimes pretty hard, but I really like it. It's just not for kids who are more interested in non-academic things and getting ready for college.

    I absolutely love Liberty! I have gone here since kindergarten. Although the academics are stellar, the people are really what makes it so good.
    In many ways, Liberty Common is a fantastic school. The education is great, and bullying by students is not tolerated. However, the problem comes in the administration. The administration shows clear bias between different student. The "good students" are allowed to get away with a few breaches of the strict and oppressive dress code, while any minor offense by a "poor student" is punished. While claiming not to affiliate with any religion, it is one area where discrimination by faculty and administration is high. If you are not Christian, you are not shown the same favor. The school has repeatedly taken a very conservative side on many political issues, and when a student argues a liberal side on a paper, they are likely to get a worse grade.
