Hume-Fogg Academic Magnet School

• Metro Nashville Public Schools, TN
• 9-12
• Rating 4.22 out of 5  545 reviews

Senior: Hume-Fogg Academic is a school that values honesty, integrity, and above all kindness. The environment at HFA is very welcoming and cozy. There are all kinds of people with different interests and personalities. Overall the environment is pretty healthy. All of our teachers push to do our absolute best and provide all the help and support they can. Although we’re still working on making HFA more diverse, HFA continues to accept and be open to new ideas, clubs, and cultural celebrations. One of my favorite things about Hume-Fogg is our international day. We get together and celebrate all the beautiful and different backgrounds and cultures of my peers. I’m so happy I decided to attend. It seemed pretty intimidating at first, but trust me HFA welcomes anyone! Blue Knight Be Kind!...Read 545 Reviews

Central Magnet School

• Rutherford County Schools, TN
• 6-12
• Rating 4.15 out of 5  485 reviews

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 485 Reviews

Ravenwood High School

• Rating 4 out of 5  478 reviews

Junior: It’s been a year since I’ve pursued my high school studies in Ravenwood, and I must say that I’m in awe with the friendliness and approachability of the people around the campus. The friends I got to have are incredible, as this was something I worried about at first. The staff and administration is superb to accommodate with whatever help you need. The teachers I’ve had are exemplary as they made sure to bring out what’s best for their students. The academics, athletics, and arts program is overall top notch. All in all, my first year experience is great!...Read 478 Reviews

Brentwood High School

• Williamson County Schools, TN
• 9-12
• Rating 4.01 out of 5  337 reviews

Alum: Great school! Enjoyed my experience at Brentwood High School because of the many choices of classes of all levels for academics. I had teachers that tried to build relationships with the students and encourage them in different pursuits in the school's community. I appreciated having different leadership opportunities through academics, clubs, and athletics that were student-centered. I felt like the school had a broad assortment of athletics so any student who wanted to participate could find a place on one of the teams. I particularly enjoyed the sports where because you built relationships with the same coaches and students year after year. The ways you could serve the community through service clubs have been useful life-long lessons as to how your help neighborhood, city, and in other relationships. The strong band, choral, and theatre programs were terrific experiences on how to appreciate the arts and what is expected during a stage performance...Read 337 Reviews

Martin Luther King Jr. Magnet High School

• Metro Nashville Public Schools, TN
• 7-12
• Rating 3.81 out of 5  482 reviews

Senior: Although the school is great academically, I feel as though student life isn't prioritized as well. It's mostly work, and little play and I think that that depresses most students. The only thing they care about is how good our grades are. But, they've gotten us ready for college, and not all faculty is bad. I've made some great relationships with a couple of my teachers. Turner and Harbour are the best! Also, because of diversity, it's pretty easy to fit in somewhere...Read 482 Reviews

Franklin High School

• Williamson County Schools, TN
• 9-12
• Rating 4.02 out of 5  435 reviews

Senior: Franklin High School has been a great school to attend over the last 4 years due to its academically driven curriculum and its great learning environment. Additionally, Franklin High School offers the IB Diploma Program which is super unique and helps students develop more well-rounded and globally-focused educational perspectives. Furthermore, the school offers a wide variety of clubs, sports, and activities for all students and does its best to get everyone involved. Franklin also has some fabulous teachers and very academically gifted students so the overall learning environment is very exciting and passionate. However, like most schools, there are some flaws and needed improvements. For instance, the bathrooms are typically very dirty and most of the sinks do not work. Also, not all the teachers are understanding or kind to all their students, and some teachers genuinely give too much work to their students. Overall, I loved my experience at Franklin High School!...Read 435 Reviews

• Rating 2.4 out of 5  5 reviews

Alum: I appreciate Kenrose because they really focus on diversity and ESL. Most kids that are zoned here, though, are wealthy and privileged. Kids could be mean to international students and there were lots of strict rules. The teachers were mostly nice, but the staff changes a lot...Read 5 Reviews

I will be forever grateful for this school...Read 1 Review
