Madison county is a warm and welcoming environment for families and the houses are affordable. There is rarely traffic and the public schools are incredible. There is a lack of diversity within the county as there is a small percentage of people who identify as Hispanic, Asian, Native American, etc. Because of the lack of diversity, there can be racial biases, however, these are rare in this county. Overall, Madison county is a tight-knit community that offers a variety of restaurants and family friendly activities for everyone to enjoy.
I like Madison County in Mississippi because it is very safe and the school systems are the best. Not only are the schools in Madison County are also safe but they have competition academically and athletically. According to Niche.com, Madison County school district is the #1 school districts in Mississippi. Academically, many school inside the district offer higher level classes, for example, AP and Dual Credit. I consider myself very fortunate to be a junior in Germantown High School and be able to learn, not only knowledge for school, but also life lessons.
Have you ever watched Gilmore Girls? Starshollow, CT is the all around utopian town. From town hall meetings to fall festivals, the community values the constituents. Madison, MS is the real life embodiment of Starshollow. Students have the opportunity to serve the community as Junior Ambassadors, and everyone gathers for summer festivities at the Red Cabbose. The schools feed into each with very few branches, meaning that most kids grow up with each other through the school system. Lastly, the value of achievement is anything but lackluster with ceremonies honoring athletic feats, superb academics, and defining leadership and service.
