The Taber School was located about 2 miles northeast of the Mt. Crawford Depot and was a one-room school built in 1880 on land purchased from Benjamin Denton and/or Joseph E. Shaver. It is identified as Ashby District school #48 in the 1886 Building survey of Ashby District and is noted but not specifically identified on Lake's 1885 Atlas of Rockingham County. No information has been found about teachers at the Taber School or the date of closing. It could be presumed that the school may have closed in 1902 when the Pleasant Valley school was built because of its location near Pleasant Valley.
