What the sources support

The 1992 reconnaissance survey of Clarke County by Maral S. Kalbian records a stone schoolhouse among the outbuildings at High Meadows, number 21-936, and says the school was built as a private school for the owners of the property, in a style oriented toward the main house rather than toward other schools of the time.

What the source supports

That this schoolhouse was built as a private school for one property's owners, not as a public school, and that the survey listed the property among the schools it documented.

Uncertainty

Number 21-936 is the survey's number for the High Meadows property, which its school table lists simply as High Meadows; the schoolhouse has no number of its own there. The report names no owner, builder, date or pupils for the school, and none is inferred.
