Brazil is in the West Tallahatchie School District.[3] R. H. Bearden School and West Tallahatchie High School are the local schools.
It was previously a part of the Brazil Consolidated School District.[4] Brazil formerly had its own school, with the final building built for $50,000 in 1936.[5] In the 1940s the district made plans to build an expansion.[6] The previous Brazil school was destroyed by a fire.[7] Due to underenrollment, as the school had 40 students registered in 1965, it was closed that year.[5] and the building put up for sale by the school district.[2]
Coahoma Community College is the designated community college.[8]
