    #1 Best Public High Schools in Wilson County

    Senior: Mount Juliet High School offered me many opportunities that I may not have had it I had not attended this school. I have been blessed with the opportunity to be in many clubs at this school, including Best Buddies, National Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, and Swim Team. I am thankful not only for these clubs, but also the tremendous staff support. All four years, I had teachers who not only taught me academic material, but also taught me life skills and gave me much-needed advice!

    #2 Best Public High Schools in Wilson County

    Alum: I graduated from Lebanon High School in 2019 with a 4.2 GPA and a decent ACT score. The school itself is a very nice place and a very spacious school. Most of the staff and faculty were nice and wanted every student to succeed. Although they wanted each student to succeed they didn't help much when it came to preparing for college. As a first-generation in my family to go to college, I didn't know how to get scholarships and grants to pay for college. The school didn't help much in that area other than making sure everyone applied for the FAFSA. One thing I would like to see change is the staff and faculty having to sit down with every student to have a goal for each student to get a minimum of 3 scholarships per student. This would be very helpful to students because it would help students pay for college and help them not stress as much being in debt, lessening the debt amount.

    #3 Best Public High Schools in Wilson County

    Senior: As part of an organization, I visited all of the other schools in the county and realized that Wilson Central is honestly the best. Our administration and teachers are constantly trying to improve our schooling experience. The vast amount of extracurriculars at WC is astounding. There are so Manu opportunities to get involved in the school and the community. We have the best student council and theatre in the entire county. Many of the other organizations are nationally ranked as well. Wilson Central is overall an amazing school!

  4. Watertown High School

    • Wilson County School District, TN
    • 9-12
    • 88 reviews

    Alum: The staff was honestly so incredible! I moved there sophomore year and everyone was so welcoming. There's no doubt that this school had that small-town-everyone's-family vibe and that has carried into my college years. I love visiting old coaches and teachers and some I consider family now. They always believed in me and pushed me to be the best person, athlete, and student that I can be and I appreciate that "tough love" that some would give. I don't think I would be on the career path that I am now, chasing a radical job, if it wasn't for them.
    If I were to critique anything, I think it would be some sports. Since it was a relatively small school at the time, many sports were just now starting up so we didn't have the best training. However, I have visited during the summers and kept up with the teams and I have to admit that they are improving everyday and I am so proud to say I'm from Watertown.

    Sandy Spring Friends School

    • Private School
    • Sandy Spring, MD
    • PK, K-12
    • 55 reviews

    Parent: New to SSFS, we were welcomed warmly by staff. Our son was given numerous opportunities to connect with other students and has made many friends. It was magic in the first week of term to see him smile, laugh and grow in confidence as he settled in. The academics are excellent and suddenly the 'not so keen student' is interested in his studies. He really loves history now! The organisation of the school day and year has been done thoughtfully and allows students time to decompress - this is such a blessing. I was impressed that the school guided our son in how to study, how to manage his time, to organise his work. Staff care. More than one teacher gave time after school if extra input was needed. Art (ceramics) was enjoyed for the first time and Farming for Fitness has been amazing. The parent association is active; people are friendly and kind to each other. People do what they can. Choosing SSFS was the best decision we ever made for our son.
