Summary:
Zip code 30205 (Brooks, GA) is home to just one elementary school, Liberty Technical Charter Academy, a K-8 charter school serving 428 students under the State Specialty Schools II- Liberty Technical Charter Acade district.
This school stands out for its exceptional advanced math results: 94.1% of students scored proficient on the Algebra I End of Course assessment, nearly double the state average of 48.1%. Eighth-grade math (75.6% proficient) and fifth-grade science (61.9% proficient) also significantly exceed state averages. However, performance is uneven across grade levels. The most concerning trend is a dramatic drop in sixth-grade math proficiency to just 16.7%, compared to 47.6% in fifth grade and 46.1% in seventh grade—a 30-point plunge that suggests a possible transition or curriculum issue. Third-grade math (38.6%) also trails the state average (48.3%), while eighth-grade social studies (32.4%) and HS Physical Science (50.1%) fall short of state benchmarks. The school's overall ranking slipped from the 73rd percentile (4 stars) in 2024-2025 to the 55th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026, reflecting this volatility.
With a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1, high per-student spending of $15,298, and a free/reduced lunch rate of just 7.01%, the school has ample resources and small class sizes. Chronic absenteeism (13.4%) is better than the state average (17.7%). The school appears to have a STEM-focused curriculum, with strong science and advanced math outcomes but weaker humanities performance. Last year's ELA scores (not yet released for the current year) were a relative strength, with all grades exceeding state averages. For parents, this school offers exceptional preparation for advanced math and strong science instruction, but the sixth-grade math dip and early-grade math struggles warrant attention. The K-8 configuration provides continuity, though the uneven grade-level results suggest families should consider their child's specific academic needs.
