Summary

West Haralson Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Tallapoosa, Georgia, with 377 students. The school is part of the Haralson County School District, which is ranked 37 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While the Haralson County district generally performs well, West Haralson Elementary appears to be an underperforming school within the district. The school consistently underperforms the county and state averages on standardized tests, with only 31.2% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to 37.2% in the county and 34.9% statewide. West Haralson Elementary also has a low statewide ranking, placing between 409-750 out of 1,200-1,250 Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years, and a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, the two other elementary schools in the Haralson County district, Buchanan Primary and Buchanan Elementary, outperform West Haralson Elementary on test scores and statewide rankings. Buchanan Elementary, in particular, ranks in the top third of Georgia elementary schools. The lower per-student spending and higher poverty rates at West Haralson Elementary compared to nearby schools may be contributing factors to its weaker academic outcomes, though the Haralson County district as a whole is well-funded relative to the state average.
