​Liza Jackson maintains the high academic expectations which have proven successful since we opened in 2001. LJPS has been an A+ school each year, and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. 

Our students benefit from a rigorous academic program based on both state and national academic standards.

The small-school atmosphere and developmentally-appropriate school environment nurtures our students while at the same time preparing them for the upper grades. Expectations for conduct and behavior ensure that all students learn in an orderly, secure, and welcoming environment.

LJPS maximizes student learning and academic achievement by concentrating all of its resources on individual student improvement.  Teachers plan together daily in order to make effective cross-curricular connections.  Extensive data analysis by the administration and by teachers drive the curriculum content each year.
