The school serves students from Villamont, Thaxton, Montvale, Big Island and Bedford.

Student body

The 2009-2010 enrollment was 1,004 in grades 9–12. Racial makeup of the school is approx. 78% White, 21% Black, and 1% other.

Academics

Approximately 80% of the students who go to LHS graduate.[3] 52% of the 2004 graduates continued their formal education beyond high school. Liberty High School participates in an Early College program with Central Virginia Community College where students apply to receive their junior and senior classes at the college itself, thus earning them a two-year degree before they graduate high school. Several students also attend the Central Virginia Governor's School in Lynchburg, VA. In 2015, Glen Field received the Jefferson Scholarship, of which less than 2% of those nominated are selected.
