The 1992 reconnaissance survey of Clarke County by Maral S. Kalbian lists Meade's School, number 21-659, in its table of schools from past rural surveys.

What the source supports

That a schoolhouse by this name had been recorded in rural survey work before the 1992 survey, under the number 21-659.

Uncertainty

One line in a table. The report gives this school no date, location, description or history, and none is inferred. The table sits in the report's account of education from 1865 to 1914, whose narrative says most schoolhouses built in that period were small one-room buildings and that most of those documented have since been converted into residences; that is said of the group, not of this building. Nothing here identifies the building with any school named in a newspaper or roster.
