The city of Waleska, Georgia has only one public elementary school, R. M. Moore Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, R. M. Moore Elementary does not appear to be a standout performer in the Cherokee County school district or the state of Georgia.

R. M. Moore Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle range of Georgia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are below the county and state averages, indicating a need for improvement in academic achievement. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty population, with over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which can present additional challenges in terms of student learning and support.

While the Cherokee County school district is ranked 28 out of 203 districts in Georgia and rated 4 stars out of 5, R. M. Moore Elementary's performance within the district is relatively low. The school's spending per student of $11,838 in 2018-2019 may also indicate potential funding challenges, which could impact the resources and support available to students and teachers.
