Summary:
Liberty Technical Charter Academy is the sole school in the State Specialty Schools II- Liberty Technical Charter Acade district, serving 428 students in grades K-8 in Brooks, Georgia, with a 3-star rating and a district rank of 81 out of 201.
This school stands out for exceptional performance in advanced math. An extraordinary 94.1% of students scored proficient or above in Algebra I, nearly double the state average of 48.1%. Math proficiency also improves dramatically with grade level, climbing from 38.6% in 3rd grade to 75.6% in 8th grade—a 29.3-point advantage over the state. Science scores are strong too, with 5th grade at 61.9% and 8th grade at 38.1%, both above state averages. The school also outperforms the state in every grade level for English Language Arts based on the most recent complete data, with advantages growing from +9.8 points in 3rd grade to +17.4 points in 7th grade. Chronic absenteeism is low at 13.4% versus the state's 17.7%, and the school benefits from a favorable 11.7:1 student-teacher ratio and $15,298 per-student spending.
However, performance is uneven. The most striking anomaly is 6th-grade math, where only 16.7% of students are proficient—a 31-point drop from 5th grade and far below the state's 40.7%. The school also underperforms in 8th-grade social studies (32.4% vs. 40.2%) and high school physical science (50.1% vs. 60.9%). The most recent ranking fell from the 73rd to 55th percentile, driven largely by a 20.4-point decline in 8th-grade social studies and the 6th-grade math slump, though 8th-grade math improved by 14.5 points. With a very low free/reduced lunch rate of 7.01%, the student population has notable socioeconomic advantages. Overall, this is a high-performing school with clear strengths in advanced math and literacy, but parents should be aware of significant subject- and grade-level inconsistencies that suggest targeted improvement is needed.
