Senior: Central Magnet school is consistently nationally ranked in the top 10 of public high schools. We are the number one school in Tennessee and our students reflect that. From being active in hundreds of local service projects, to speaking at board meetings regarding county policy on mask mandates, our students are well rounded and shown to be cream of the crop year after year. The teachers and staff trust the students immensely, whether its not having to ask to go to the bathroom (just trusting you will go and come back) or sending students on errands throughout the school. We have a club for just about any interest from: robotics, or movie circle , to our aviation club, which has a close relationship with MTSU and their flight school. Central has only honors and above classes: advanced honors, AP, and duel enrollment. With such a great education comes work; lots of work. All of the work, I believe, has prepared me for college, and improved my work ethic. Central is a fantastic school!... Read 501 reviews

Parent: The classroom size alone is enough to give The Webb School an A + rating. However, the way The Webb School handle the pandemic was pretty impressive. My daughter enjoys the freedoms that comes with a small school, in a small community. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my daughter is safe. I know that anything still can happen but I feel extremely blessed to know that my child is learning, developing independent thinking skills, all while learning how to manage her time. The Webb School is preparing her for more than just college...it's preparing her for preparing her for her future!... Read 107 reviews

Parent: Oakcrest has been a wonderful place for my daughter to learn and grow. Since she arrived in 8th grade, she has grown and blossomed into a more Godly, confident and well-learned young lady. Oakcrest is a rarity in this area: an academically rigorous school that also puts a premium on Godly character development. Plus, Oakcrest truly looks to partner with parents in the education of their daughters, and has many events planned to grow and strengthen parents and families throughout the year - a win/win for all of us! The teachers and support staff are amazing, as is the new campus. Everyone connected with this school from top to bottom is amazing! If you are seeking a challenging academic environment for your daughter, where she can make life-long friends, grow in her faith, and have her character formed for THE BETTER - Oakcrest is your place. Our family is forever blessed because of this school!... Read 129 reviews

Alum: I would say that my years being a part of the blackman community was an amazing experience. The school really encouraged us as young, developing adults to achieve greatness. I was able to excel in being more confident with their JROTC program and set myself up as a future leader. It had the resources to talk to recruiters for our military and I ended up enlisting in the Army. The amount of achievements I earned as a student their wouldn’t be possible without the support from the faculty and staff who encouraged me to pursue my passion. Like all organizations, there are some areas where Blackman does fall short. However, I’d argue that for the majority of the time it ensures the entire schools has a sense of pride to be a student at Blackman High school. I can proudly say I am an alumni at Blackman High School.... Read 578 reviews

Works Here: Since when did these things happen at school?! Never did in my past! 1. I witnessed freshmen hugging and crying with seniors over graduation 2. I witnessed seniors coming back to school the week after their last class just because they want to be here. 3. I saw at least 10 different students volunteering to clean bathrooms and do yard work for free! Just because they want to help. 4. No student actually uses their locker. Theft is basically a non-issue here. 5. When final bell rang I walked out to give high fives and say "congratulations!" And they look at me and nearly start crying because they don't want to leave for the summer. Lighthouse Christian School is truly a special school.

Middle School Student: I met some of the best people ever at my time at this school. The only thing (based on what I have personally seen) is how many find raisers they have. Every single month is a dance that costs money, and on the first day of school you get a fundraiser. Oh yeah, and I have no idea where that money ever goes. I am in choir and the choir teacher (who is awesome by the way) tries not to give us fundraisers or make us pay but she needs money for us. I was also in drama/theatre, and we desperately needed money for better lighting, costumes, etc. If the school wasn't constantly asking me for money, it would be amazing!... Read 3 reviews
