In contrast to controversies that have prompted an accreditation organization to schedule an early visit to the Liberty County School System, the system is apparently doing well in academics. Administrators say the schools are working on four specific areas that need improvement pointed out by the school accreditation group AdvancED. The system is evaluated every five years and was last evaluated in March 2016. After doing interviews, classroom observations and reviewing district records, LCSS kept its accreditation after earning a rating of 266.26 out of 400, less than 10 points lower than a 276 earned by the Bryan County Schools in 2014.
