Original Research by School Decision on Mater Academy at Liberty Square
Mater Academy at Liberty Square was a charter school located in Miami, Florida, and the most important fact about it is that it is now closed. The school's operational status is recorded as closed in the federal education database, so families searching for an active enrollment option will need to look elsewhere.
Because the school is no longer operating, nearly all of the data fields that would normally anchor a school narrative are absent or inapplicable. Enrollment figures, demographic composition, state assessment results, academic trend data, staffing information, discipline records, and program offerings are all missing from the available data. It is not possible to characterize the school's academic performance, student population, or program mix from what is here, and filling those gaps with inference would not serve a reader well.
The school served the middle grades only, which means a graduation rate would not have applied to it regardless of its open or closed status. State testing data for middle grades does exist in Florida, but none was reported in the data provided for this school.
The address on record places the school within a Miami zip code where the housing market is notably expensive relative to state and national benchmarks. Home values in that area run well above the Florida and U.S. medians, and rents consume a large share of a typical household's income, conditions that have characterized Miami broadly as the city has grown through high-rise development in its core neighborhoods. That context matters for families weighing the cost of living in the area while also navigating school options, but it does not change the central fact about this particular school.
For families who were drawn to Mater Academy's charter network, which operates other campuses across Miami-Dade, the district itself is undergoing its own period of change. Publicly reported coverage describes sustained enrollment decline leading Miami-Dade County Public Schools to propose closures and consolidations affecting schools across all three of the district's regions, with some campuses being reconfigured into new grade-band structures such as K-8 or combined middle-high schools. Families moving into the area or searching for a school should expect that attendance boundaries and school configurations may shift before or after they arrive. A voter-approved property tax increase, set to expire in the coming years unless renewed, currently funds teacher compensation and school safety staffing across the district.
The short summary here is that there is no active school to evaluate. Any family that found this record while researching Mater Academy at Liberty Square should confirm current options directly with Miami-Dade County Public Schools or with the Mater Academy charter network.
