Alum: I just graduated from spending all of my grade school career in this school system. It is constantly adapting to the city that is growing around it and the people that are living in it. If anything, I would recommend more effort towards cultural appreciation at the district level. Individual teachers, groups of students, and sometimes schools have made those efforts, but there must be more dedication to the background of the students given that our community is comprised of families from across the world. With that aside, voices are heard and the district often holds public board meetings as well as surveys to ensure it is on the right track. Students are encouraged to forge their own paths with tremendous support regardless of if they choose the workforce, military, or higher learning after graduation. Most of not all of my teachers treated me like family, and I know that those around them do the same.... Read 59 reviews

Parent: Hartselle City Schools is simply the best. The community involvement is incredible, the facilities are excellent. I have a son with special needs and Hartselle City Schools has always taken amazing care of him and provided him with exactly what he needs to be successful. My daughter went through the MSLE program for dyslexia with teachers from Hartselle City Schools and she is doing amazing. Hartselle City Schools provides the best education for every single student. There are so many opportunities through the academies that are offered at the high school, and some classes starting in the junior high and intermediate schools. Hartselle City Schools students are prepared for the future.... Read 19 reviews

Senior: Great teachers and staff! I have loved my time at Athens High. The only thing I would hope for future students are more Advance Placement courses. Athens did try to prepare me for college, however I could have used earlier and more AP courses to take.... Read 37 reviews

Senior: One of the many things that I loved about my school is the smaller class sizes. My graduating class has less than 100 students. Many of the students I've gone to school with most of my educational career. I also feel that because of the smaller class settings, I have been able to have a better relationship with my educators. New Hope High School is definitely a great school and I am honored to be graduating with my friends in a few days.... Read 79 reviews

Junior: I came from a school full of bullying and it caused me to have very poor mental health. The teachers did nothing to help with the situation. They also did not help with my learning disabilities. Here at Decatur, I have not had to deal with the bullying and struggling for help like I did there.... Read 31 reviews

Senior: I love Limestone County School systems. They are loving, caring, and a social school system. I go to East Limestone High School and graduating this year May 2022 and I enjoyed being at East. Teachers and students I love and will miss, the teachers really have a big heart on students. I also go to Limestone career tech school and I enjoy it as well. I want to be a teacher, I am in the teaching and training programs and I love so much from it. Thank you Limestone county school system for being the best school district I have ever been to....
