I'm a senior at Washington Liberty and I've spent all four years of my high school experience here. I joke around a lot about disliking the school, but in all honesty, I feel that I had a very great experience here! Most of the teachers I had were nothing but nice to me, and I still keep in contact with a couple of them. This school helped me find what I want my career to be and gave me the opportunities to explore the field of medicine. I only gave a four-star rating because I ran into some complications with a handful of teachers here, but I feel that every student has a couple of teachers that weren't a great match for them or their learning style, so I'll give those teachers the benefit of the doubt and say that we didn't get along based off of teaching style and learning style. Even though COVID-19 has ruined my final months of high school, the staff are still working hard to make sure every senior gets the appreciation they deserve!
Washington-Liberty is a uniquely urban environment that encourages diversity and academic excellence. Its offering of the International Baccalaureate Programme and AP Program demonstrates just one avenue through which the institution achieves high testing scores and national recognition. Within the school, star counseling services tailor to the needs of each student, helping them to explore their academic potential and find valuable career and education resources. As an enrolled student at W-L, I can attest to the excellent standards held to and by the staff and administration. Advocacy extends to the students from many avenues, be it teacher, mentors, counseling services, or administration. The strong support given by both peers and adults creates a competitive yet manageable atmosphere, in which almost any student could thrive.
Washington Liberty High School is a place that was remarkable for its classes, particularly pushing students to their best abilities to take Advanced Placement classes as well as IB & Dual Enrollment classes; furthermore, the environment is great due to its staff that will show concerns for their students and aid that will help them get through from times to times when they may or may not need it. The community itself on school grounds is diverse from clubs ranging from your interests or others to people pursuing their dreams or showing off who they are. If there was few things I could recommend, it would be that the school needs a better job allowing students to connect with their mentors/teachers, allow programs after school that may academically help students if they cannot make it to certain things such as lunch labs or getting help from certain teachers, and offer up a driver education class once more.
