“We are very excited that the students and teachers at Liberty are being recognized for their hard work and academic achievement. Liberty is regularly recognized as being a top-performing high school in Missouri and the St. Louis region,” Dr. Nelson said.

By earning a national ranking in the top 40%, we as a school achieved status as a U.S. News Best High School and gained eligibility to display a U.S. News-trademarked 2021 Best High Schools award. Here is the complete ranking of best high schools according to U.S. News and World Report.

Dr. Nelson shared his thoughts to help Liberty reach its full potential.

“We will continue to encourage academic achievement at Liberty,” Nelson said. “We will continue to encourage students to take Advanced Placement coursework to expose themselves to rigorous classes.” 

This achievement is big for Liberty and while the ultimate goal is to eventually be in the top 10 schools for academic achievement, this year’s ranking is enough to make us happy and motivate us to keep up the good work in years to come.
