While some children can get a good education even in a bad school and while no doubt there are some good teachers in bad schools, if you want your child to have a good education in a Metro public school, by the time they reach high school, the chance of getting a good education are pretty slim.
If you look at the high schools, most are scoring an "F." The good high schools are Hume-Fogg and Metro School of the Arts and a couple charter schools.
Not a surprise really, but many of the suburban and rural schools outshine Metro schools.
If you are moving to the Nashville area, and quality of schools are a factor, you may want to look at the Williamson County Schools. Housing may cost a little more, but you may save the cost of private school tuition.
The difference between charter and district schools is pronounced in Nashville. 44% of charter schools earned an A or B rating compared to 29% of district schools.
