Well for some reason that I don’t know of, my post about the previous school ended up getting the majority cut off and I have no idea why the heck that happened. I just noticed it now and I can’t edit it. Its fine, but just to remind myself, that school there was the E.D. Smith elementary school which serves grades Preschool through 6th grade. This is the final middle school of the Oakwood City school district. But this is the setup of Liberty middle school when it comes to the system.
