Summary:

Zip code 30176 in Tallapoosa, Georgia, is served by five schools within the highly-ranked Haralson County School District, covering grades PK-12 and including two elementary schools, one middle school, and two high school options.

The standout performer in this area is Haralson County Middle School, which has surged to a 5-star rating and the 90th percentile statewide. Its math and science scores are exceptional—8th grade science proficiency (58.1%) is nearly double the state average (29.7%), and 6th grade math (64.1%) far exceeds the state (40.7%). Haralson County High School is also a strong performer, boasting a 99.1% graduation rate (vs. 87.2% statewide) and impressive Biology (62.9%) and US History (56.1%) scores. In contrast, West Haralson Elementary School hovers near state averages in math, though its 5th grade science (55.3%) is a bright spot. Tallapoosa Primary School (PK-2) has no test scores but shows a low 14% chronic absenteeism rate and the highest per-student spending ($15,298), indicating a strong early foundation. The outlier is Haralson County Rebel Academy, an alternative school for 24 students with a 47.6% chronic absenteeism rate and a 20:1 student-teacher ratio—challenges that reflect its unique mission for at-risk youth.

Despite 82-100% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, this district is achieving remarkable results. Both the middle and high schools have improved their state rankings for three consecutive years, suggesting systemic gains. Science is a consistent strength across all grade levels, and the district's investment in early education appears to pay off in later grades. While the Rebel Academy faces engagement hurdles, the overall picture is one of a cohesive district punching well above its weight, with the middle school as the clear academic powerhouse and the high school delivering exceptional graduation outcomes.
