Summary:
Zip code 30205, serving the Brooks, Georgia area, is home to just one school: Liberty Technical Charter Academy, a K-8 charter school with 428 students operating under the State Specialty Schools II- Liberty Technical Charter Acade district.
Liberty Technical Charter Academy presents a mixed but generally strong academic profile, with exceptional performance in advanced mathematics and notable weaknesses in middle school math and social studies. The school's standout achievement is its Algebra I End of Course proficiency rate of 94.1%, nearly double the state average of 48.1%, and its 8th grade math proficiency of 75.6% is 29.3 points above the state average. However, 6th grade math proficiency sits at just 16.7%, a staggering 24 points below the state average and a 27.7-point decline from the previous year. This dramatic gap between 6th and 8th grade performance suggests a possible curriculum alignment issue or cohort-specific challenge in the middle school math progression. The school also excels in 5th grade science (61.9% vs. 44.2% state) and 8th grade science (38.1% vs. 29.7% state), but 8th grade social studies dropped 20.4 points to 32.4%, now 7.8 points below the state average.
Beyond test scores, the school benefits from favorable conditions: a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1, above-average per-student spending of $15,298, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 13.4% that is 4.3 points better than the state average. Only 7.01% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a predominantly affluent population. The school's overall state rank of 545 out of 1,219 (55th percentile, 3 stars) reflects its mixed performance, though its district ranks higher at 81st of 201 districts. For parents, this school offers strong upper-grade math and science instruction with clear areas for improvement in 6th grade math and social studies that warrant attention.
