The first school in Donalsonville was held in the Masonic Lodge in 1892. Later the Donalsonville School was expanded into a two story building, including grades one through eleven. The first recorded black school was not until the late 1920s.
By 1955, there was only one school for the blacks in Seminole County, known as the Seminole County Training School. The school was located in Donalsonville with around 540 students. In 1970, during the integration of schools, three schools were created. These were the only schools in Seminole County and included Donalsonville Elementary, which housed Kindergarten through fourth grades, Seminole County Jr. High School, which included the fifth through eighth grades, and the Seminole County Sr. High School, housing grades nine through twelve.

Today, there are two schools, the Seminole County Elementary, which includes Kindergarten through fifth grades, and the Seminole Middle/ High School, which houses grades six through twelve. There are also Pre-K programs that have opened their doors in Donalsonville. Seminole County High School was once the playing ground for a Washington Redskins player named Phillip Daniels. Phillip left Donalsonville for the University of Georgia, where he played out his college football career until he was drafted in 1996 to the Seattle Seahawks.
