Liberty Tech Charter Academy, Brooks GA

Original Research by School Decision on Liberty Tech Charter Academy

Liberty Tech Charter Academy is a K–8 public charter school in Brooks, Georgia, operated under a state charter through the Georgia State Charter Schools Commission. The school serves a statewide attendance zone, meaning families do not need to live in Brooks or Fayette County to enroll; many students travel from across the Atlanta region.

The school carries a classical-and-STEM hybrid curriculum with a House System structure for grades 7 and up. This pedagogical model, centered on college and career readiness, skill-building, and mentoring, is the school's defining offering and a primary draw for families choosing it over zoned Fayette County district schools. In February 2026, the State Charter Schools Commission granted Liberty Tech a five-year charter renewal for its third consecutive charter term, signaling authorizer confidence in the school's operational and financial stability based on strong academic outcomes.

State assessment results show mixed proficiency across tested subjects. In math, proficiency ranges from the lower to mid-range in early elementary and middle grades, rising noticeably in grades 7 and 8. In English language arts, proficiency similarly starts in the low-to-mid range in grades 3 and 4, then strengthens in grades 5 through 7. Science proficiency in grade 5 is moderate, but drops substantially by grade 8. Social studies proficiency in grade 8 sits in the low-to-moderate range. Overall proficiency across tested subjects positions the school above the midpoint among the county's three districts, though strength is uneven by grade and subject. A parent may want to look further into the school's math outcomes in the elementary grades and eighth-grade science performance to understand whether targeted supports are in place.

The enrollment is small, with a predominantly white student body and a substantial Asian and multiracial enrollment, a smaller Black and Hispanic representation, and very few students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school does not report counts for students with individualized education plans or English learners; data on both populations was not available. Special education and English learner enrollment, if any, remains unclear from public records.

Brooks itself is a rural, agricultural town in southern Fayette County, planned and zoned for large-lot estates rather than dense subdivision development. Most properties sit on acreage of five or more acres, and the town has retained its small historic core around the Market Hall and Town Hall. The broader Fayette County has grown rapidly, but Brooks remains pastoral with a tight-knit community anchored by the monthly farmers market, the library, parks, and churches. Housing values in the Brooks area are well above those in many surrounding ZIP codes, reflecting the large-lot premium and the county's general appreciation. Schools serving Brooks residents—Whitewater Middle and Whitewater High—are located in nearby Fayetteville, not in town, so busing is standard for all students.

Liberty Tech's statewide charter status means families can access it regardless of where they live in Georgia, making location and housing decisions independent of school assignment. For families drawn to the classical-STEM pedagogical model, the House System mentoring structure, and the school's recent five-year charter renewal, the school offers continuity and a distinct academic pathway. Families should understand that the school's track record spans only the current data year shown here, making it difficult to assess trends or long-term performance stability.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
