Summary

Liberty Collegiate Academy is a middle school in Nashville, TN, serving 241 students in grades 5–8 as part of Metro Nashville Public Schools, a district that ranks in the 11th percentile statewide. Liberty's own state ranking of 481st out of 594 middle schools (19th percentile, 1 star) places it below the state median, but this wasn't always the case — in 2014–15, the school ranked 43rd in Tennessee, putting it in the 91st percentile with a 5-star rating. The last two years have been its weakest, with rankings in the 15th and 19th percentiles.

The school's clearest strength is its work with English Language Learners, ranking 6th out of 100 schools statewide serving ELL students in 2024–25 — a top-6% result. Chronic absenteeism is also remarkably low at just 6.5%, compared to 23.3% for the district and 18.3% statewide, meaning students are consistently showing up to class. However, academic performance is middling: 2025–26 proficiency rates were 24% in math, 18.5% in ELA, 25.6% in science, and 25.9% in social studies. The 7th grade is a particular weak spot, with math and ELA proficiency at just 12.1%, while 8th grade math reached 35%, close to the state average of 38.3%.

Compared to nearby schools, Liberty sits in the lower-middle tier. It outperforms Madison Middle School, Haynes Middle School, Jere Baxter Middle School, and East Nashville Middle School in most subjects, but trails KIPP Academy Nashville School, which is just 2.3 miles away and serves the same grades — KIPP's math proficiency is 42.1% versus Liberty's 24%. Notably, Liberty spends far less than its neighbors at $14,760 per student, compared to $24,843 at East Nashville Middle and $20,855 at Haynes Middle, while still outperforming several of those higher-spending schools. For parents, Liberty offers strong attendance and excellent ELL support, but the school's decade-long academic decline and weaker results for low-income and special education students are important factors to weigh.
