The Liberty Elementary School was built in 1925 as a centralized location for education in the Liberty Area. Overcrowding was a major problem, as too many students were going there. Overcrowding is still a problem after the district's pre-kindergarten and kindergarten school closed, so now the grades taught go from pre-kindergarten to 4th. In 1963, the current High School was built to accommodate the influx of students, and the upper-level students were moved there from the original school, while those in lower grades remained. There are approximately 600 students attending it from 9th to 12th grade making it Class B for sports. In addition to normal courses Liberty High School offers advanced placement and distance learning classes. Due to more crowding, the Liberty Middle School was built through efforts by then Superintendent Richard Beruk and opened in 1991 to hold students from grades 5 to 8. Beginning in 2009 major renovations began to all three schools in the district. Some renovations include a new media center and science labs in the high school as well as a complete overhaul to the entire elementary school. The middle school also received a new roof during these renovations. Continuing these renovations, in May 19, 2015, a scaled-down version of the second phase of these renovations were approved after the full renovations were rejected on October 21, 2014.
