| What High Schools Are In Nashville |
Public or Private? That is the Question
First things first, gotta decide on your academic jam session. Public schools like John Overton and Cane Ridge are like classic country music - familiar, reliable, and full of school spirit (and maybe a cafeteria that serves mystery meat surprise?). Don't knock it till you try it - these schools can be a real crowd-pleaser, with tons of extracurricular activities and a friendly atmosphere.
Feeling fancy? Nashville has a whole symphony of private schools, from the prestigious Hume-Fogg Academic Magnet (think of it as the Grand Ole Opry of high schools) to the artistically inclined Nashville School of the Arts (perfect for those who wanna be the next Taylor Swift). Course, with private schools comes a price tag, so be sure to brush up on your financial yodeling skills.
