So I need some info...
I'm primarily interested in narrowing down the surrounding areas of Nashville by school quality. I've been to the State of Tennessee Dept of Ed and have seen the report cards but they're a little too broad (or perhaps I haven't figured out the best way to review the information). Anyway I'm looking at the Rutherford and Williamson school districts, but there seems to be a ton of schools in these counties. So I'm looking for more info especially on areas to avoid.
I see Murfreesboro was ranked high on Money Mag's top places to live but I was curious if thats more of a College age area? I'm in my 30s, married with 3 elementary school children.
We may rent before buying and I want to be able to pick a school district and stay there so the kids won't have to change schools once we get there.
Thoughts?
