Looks like my husband may be transferred to South Birmingham, AL for his job. We have two children that will be in 5th and 7th grades. Schools are very important to us for them mentally and socially. I would like for their school to be a "great" influence not a "bad" influence. My 5th grader is also ADHD, but in advanced Math and Science. My 7th grader lives and breathes soccer.

We have actually been down to Chelsea and looked at homes. It looks like a wonderful area with affordable homes. We were looking at homes in the $200K-$230K range.

I didn't look in the Helena area, but was wondering what that area what like for raising children. Also, is there another small area between Tusaloosa and Birmingham that I could consider??

We were raised in a rural West TN area before moving to a bigger city a few years ago. We wouldn't mind having a more country feel if the schools were great.

Thanks in advance for your help. (I am going to see if anyone needs my help on the TN board!)

The operative question is where your husband will be working. That slog from Chelsea up 280 can be brutal.

Come on, cpg ! That's all you've got. I saw this thread and was waiting for you to chime in ! Husband finds out tomorrow if he gets the interview in AL. Keep your fingers crossed that I'll be asking many more questions for weeks to come (and hijacking threads).

On 280 traffic is everything!

Good luck on the interview.

You might want to look near McAdory High School. That area has really started to build up in recent years.
