Best Schools in Kingsport, TN AREA?
Hello, my husband and I are considering a relocation to the Kingsport area. We have three little girls so the educational system is the most important thing to us. We have done research online and it looks like Sullivan County has a "good" school district. Is this true? We are looking for an area that has great schools and community combined. PLEASE HELP!
Thank you.

The city schools in Kingsport are very good. I'm not sure of the elementary schools but Dobyns-Bennett is a really great high school, probably the best in all of upper East TN. Maybe someone can help you out with more specifics on the elementary schools.

info
Search for the national center for education statistics. It is sort of helpful. After you search by city or zip code, you select the school and it breaks the school down by kids in grade, demographics, student/teacher ratio, things of that sort. Hope it helps. I think the website is nces.ed.gov. If you that doesn't work try a google search.

As you probably already know, Kingsport City and Sullivan County are two different school systems. If you think you'll live in Kingsport, Washington Elementary is probably the top primary school though several others are very good. Both Sevier & Robinson are fine middle schools and Dobyns-Bennett (D-B) is a first-rate high school.
As for county schools near Kingsport, I would focus on Sullivan South and its feeder schools rather than Sullivan North. South doesn't have quite the reputation that D-B does, but it's not far behind.

Hi-
We moved 4 weeks ago from Houston to Kingsport, with our three little girls. Our oldest is at Washington Elementary. Everybody I have met raves about how good this school is. We're very pleased so far. It's a multi-age school, where K-2 kids are together, and 3-5 kids are together.
I found a preschool for our middle daughter, and I'm pleased with that, too.
As mentioned, the high school is supposed to be top-notch, also.
