Summary:
Zip code 30905 is home to just one school, Freedom Park K-8 School, a Pre-K through 8th grade institution located on Fort Eisenhower in Augusta that serves 608 students within the Richmond County School District.
Freedom Park K-8 is a clear standout in its district, consistently ranking in the top third of all Georgia schools even though its district ranks in the bottom 11% statewide. The school has earned 3-4 stars in recent years, with its 2025-2026 state rank at 394 out of 1,219 schools (68th percentile). Its mathematics performance is particularly strong—5th graders hit 61% proficiency (17 points above the state average) and 7th graders reached 54.9% (13 points above state). In every grade, the school doubles or triples the district's math proficiency rates. Science in 5th grade is also excellent at 54.3% proficiency, outpacing the state by 10 points. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.7% is remarkably low compared to the district's 30.3% and the state's 17.7%, reflecting the stability of its military-connected student population. With a favorable 14.3:1 student-teacher ratio and $15,354 per-student spending, the school has strong resources to support learning.
However, there are areas of concern. The 8th grade science proficiency dropped to 0% in 2025-2026, a dramatic fall from 30.8% the prior year, and Algebra I EOC proficiency plunged from 68.2% to 27.3%—likely reflecting changes in which students take the course rather than a true achievement decline. The school also shows a common K-8 pattern: elementary grades (3rd-5th) perform much stronger than middle school grades (6th-8th). Despite these dips, Freedom Park remains a high-performing school in a low-performing district, making it an excellent option for families in the 30905 area, especially those seeking strong elementary math and science programs.
