Williamson Co schools have a great rep these days. I'm hearing friends who have kids at Ravenwood getting schollys to UT, Bama, Ole Miss, Miss St, etc.. Sadly most people in Davidson Co that can are sending their kids to private schools. Lipscomb is booming with new kids.

I had one go to Binkley, Rose Park, McMurray, and Overton. Another went to Binkley, Croft, then Nash School for the Arts. When the oldest got out of Overton I knew that was it for that school. School of the Arts was a bit better. My youngest is at Lipscomb and I couldn't be happier.

I am but its only one reason my kids there. a)Cheaper than the others that are near by (Franklin Rd Academy, Oak Hill, Father Ryan, Brentwood Academy). b) Really close - I can get there in about 5 minutes.

LA (it changed its name to Lipscomb Academy) has loosened up a bit in the past years and while a good amount of students are coc there are many from other religions. Sou Baptist make up the next biggest population then there are Methodist and even catholics I can remember off the top of my head. It isn't just the school - the university is the same. Still keeps their core values but its not a requirement to be a coc. They are very involved in the community and city. You'd never know its a coc school unless you looked it up.

They suck bad.
The neighbor kid was in 10th when he found my 6th grader (at the time) vocabulary words. He told my 10th (at the time) "your vocabulary words are too hard" I didn't have the heart to tell him they were 6th grade words.

That's cool. My dad went to Lipscomb HS and both parents went to Lipscomb U, as well as lots of other family.

Putting serious consideration in to Franklin for my next move.

If my lilSongstress hits the music biz as planned, I will be her tour manager (seriously) so we may move that way to make life easier. And because we would be part of the "beautiful people club".

BUT, if my oldest gets into Vet School at UT, we will just stay in Rednecksville and commute til she is done with school.

crazy lil life right now.
