Liberty High School is a four-year public high school located in Jersey City, New Jersey, operated as part of the Jersey City Public Schools. The school was established in September 1999 as a partnership between the Jersey City Board of Education and Hudson County Community College.
The school is intended to offer a very small learning community, in contrast to the large comprehensive high schools in the district, offering a family-like atmosphere where students feel involved, supported and challenged.[2]
As of the 2009-10 school year, the school had an enrollment of 172 students and 21.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 8.0.[1]
The school was the 163rd-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 322 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2010 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", after being ranked 245th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[3] The school was ranked 249th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[4] Schooldigger.com ranked the school 273rd out of 367 public high schools statewide in its 2009-10 rankings which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the language arts literacy and mathematics components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).[5]
