Liberty Elementary School

It is a shame there is not a choice for zero stars. I am quite unhappy with the way things are being mishandled with my special needs child. I am quite unhappy with the lack of integrity from his Teachers and Staff. As an Autism Mom who has advocated for my child non stop for almost 8 years; I am beyond disgusted that this school is even in a bracket as a school that paves the way. Treating a child, the parents and his outside behavioral staff as they do is abhorrent and uncalled for. After this year; my child has one more year. He has been there his whole educational life thus far starting with an IEP and then thrusted without any standing in to a 504 which led him to almost fail and face expulsion in 3rd grade. In 4th grade he is still being punished, but even more harsh than last year, for what happened last year. And his punishment is being extended based on a lie that his Teacher stated he was talking about ‘guns’ while she is reading a book using the word ‘shotgun’ in it. So, when do we not use the word ‘gun’? Never! That’s the answer! This is a special needs student who should have never been thrusted in to 504. Myself, as a Parent could have had much more in place and much faster, if not for this. No matter how many times I try to help my son, by trying to do my best by cooperating with this school; I only get appeased temporarily just to be quieted. My son’s outside sources watched me get antagonized and instigated by the Principal, as it has always been for the last two years of her tenure at this school. If your child or children are special needs; do not under any circumstances set them up for failure and send them here. I have apologized to the Principal and took accountability for my part of any undue hardship. No one has apologized to my Child or Myself or Dad from that school. We just get smoke screened, lied to and toyed with. Once again; Leader in Me: Start asking who that Leader is and what they are really doing for your child other than free backpacks, food drives, free books and free school meals. Free comes with a price. Right now ‘free’ is wreaking havoc within my home trying to get my son to understand that some people are not honest, but to respect them anyway. I do not lie to my Child and I won’t start today!

I am afraid of the damage this school will do to my kids if I keep them enrolled here. The teachers are unhappy and dump their emotional issues on the kids. The teachers do not accept different backgrounds or learning techniques. The teachers will not put in additional effort to help the students understand material or send home examples of work or class work with homework. If my son has to hide in the bathroom and cry because his teacher verbally abuses him in front of the class as a target she should be sent to anger management and not be working with kids. My other child's teacher is kind but so depressed she told the class she goes home and wants to do things but lays in bed every night afterwork because they make her so tired. (Depression?). Who is checking in on these classrooms and teachers? If the school ratings are 50 percent should the school board be looking into some over haul?

Excellent school with dedicated teachers and a good location

Amazing staff, curriculum and overall energy. Each of the faculty, in my experience, genuinely cares for the students futures and well being. To say that Charlotte Prep takes pride in watching their students grow academically and spiritually is an understatement. My kids have been going to Charlotte prep for nearly 6 years and generally accel in all areas as compared to a public school curriculum. Our kids will be going all the way through 8th grade at Charlotte Prep. A big thanks you to the great faculty of Charlotte Prep.

I was considering this school as an opportunity to further my child's education, and growth in their relationship with christ, howeverafter learning of some of the things that occur at this school the past and present I will not be sending my child to this school nor, would I recommend this school to anyone else.

I went here for about 4 years and I hated it. Teachers are ok but some were horrible and the teaching here wasn’t that good either. My mental health going to this school was horrible I do not recommend putting your child in this school. From my experience I hated how overpriced and how u had to pay for tickets that are not even necessary. Never again.
