The school's test scores are generally above the county and state averages, particularly in math and science. Buchanan Elementary School also performs well, ranking 349th out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating, with strong math and science scores.

While the middle and high schools in the district perform relatively similarly, there is more variation in the performance of the elementary schools. The district's virtual high school, Haralson County Rebel Academy, appears to be underperforming compared to the traditional high school, with significantly lower test scores in United States History. Overall, the schools in Haralson County generally perform at or slightly below state averages, suggesting potential opportunities for improvement by identifying and replicating the practices of the higher-performing schools within the district.
