Liberty Charter School

Posted January 16, 2009

This public charter is administered by one of the best educational minds in the state of Idaho. Scores have gone up in every school wherein this administrator has been in place, and have dipped after she has moved to a different school. This has drawn attention from the State Board as well as the State Charter Commission, and her administrative techniques are observed and respected at the statehouse and by educators who have had the opportunity to view her results statewide. Having had the opportunity to observe these things first hand, I feel very fortunate to have my children in such a great school!

I love this school -- I have one child in the high school and one in the elementary grades. Teachers & principal are always accessible -- I'm never surprised by how my kids are doing academically/socially as it's easy to communicate with teachers/principal via email, by phone, or in person. The website now has regular updates to the calendar, etc. Often, charter schools are not able to offer a lot of extras, like sports, but Liberty does -- in fact, the boys basketball team is currently ranked #2 in its division. But what I appreciate most is not that the education has to fit in with the sports/extra-curriculars, but that education always remains the focus with the other activities working in concert with that focus.

The high school' is great for kids who need an extra push to excel. A big drawback is no website where parents can get up-to-date info on their kids' assignments and scores. If a student is doing poorly, parents won't know about it until grades come out. Teachers seem overworked. Getting a teacher response to a message can take several days. There is no school counsellor on staff.

My Kids have been attending this school since it opened in 1999. They have recieved excellent education. The HighSchool education far exceeds the local public High School and is much more difficult. The Elementary is excellent and my children are all a grade ahead of thier peers in the public schools. Excellent teachers and I have never seen the children running around in the front. The respect taught is unbelievable and there is no tolarance for teasing. Is it perfect? - of course not - but hands down better than anything in the Nampa School District (which has a horrible track record).
