The 30631 zip code area is served by a single alternative public school, Taliaferro County School, which serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 187 students. As the sole educational option in the area, Taliaferro County School faces unique challenges, including a lack of educational diversity, significant socioeconomic disadvantages, and academic performance concerns.
Taliaferro County School's four-year graduation rate for the 2020-2021 school year was 82.4%, which is below the state average. The school's performance on the Georgia Milestones Assessment System is also generally lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the significant resources allocated to Taliaferro County School, with a spending of $28,312 per student for the 2018-2019 school year, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's challenges highlight the need for further investigation and the development of strategies to support the school and its students in the Taliaferro County community.
