#12 Districts with the Best Teachers in Alabama
Alum: Both my husband and I graduated from this school system in 2011, and continue to live in the area today. I went on to get a Master's in Accounting at UAB, and my husband obtained his Computer Engineering degree at UAH.
The school system is the epitome of small town life, with both its upsides and its downsides. Arab focuses on academics above all else, and I wouldn't be where I am today without it. There are many wealthy parents in the area who work on the arsenal, but Arab itself is very rural, so you have blue-collared farm kids as well. Everyone knows everyone, and coming in as a newcomer can be a bit daunting, but if you can brave the cliques, it's absolutely worth it.
Other top school districts throughout the state are confined to very strict borders, which mean you have to live in a very expensive area in order to attend. But this area is very affordable, and the school typically accepts outside applicants with good grades and a clean record.
