LIBERTY CHARTER SCHOOL
PARENT INVOLVEMENT NOTICE:
At Liberty, we encourage and support parents in fully participating in the education of their children. We do this in a number of ways, including, but not limited to:
Accreditation & Reviews: Last year, Liberty underwent extensive reviews for its scheduled accreditation and of its Title IA, IIA & IVA federal programs. The entire school took part in these reviews, including parents through interviews, surveys, etc. The reviews were huge successes, with Liberty accredited for another five years (the longest a school can be accredited before its next review) and with only one, minor change addressed under the federal programs review. In its final report, the accreditation team noted:
“Liberty Charter School is a high functioning educational institution. Parents, students and staff are strongly committed to the Harbor Method. Liberty Charter has stayed true it's charter and faithfully replicates the
Harbor Method on which it was founded. Student academic and personal success is the focus of all stakeholders. ...A kind, caring and respectful culture is evident in all aspects of the school.”
Liberty’s School Report Card - Liberty is one of Idaho’s highest-performing public schools. To view the school’s annual report card, go to the school’s website and click on School Report Card. Also, the Charter Commission’s annual reports can be found under School Information.
