Elementary Schools in Greeneville (Tusculum: county, job, children)

[lizzy77]

My husband is interviewing for a job in Greeneville at the end of June. We have two children, ages 5 and 7. My seven year old is academically gifted. Can anyone give some details/recommendations about elementary schools in the area? I see that Greeneville City schools are different from Greene County schools. We are coming from Louisiana, so our standards aren't incredibly high. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would avoid Greene County Schools (being a product of them). Highland Elementary and Tusculum View are the two I would suggest in the City.

If you must do county then I would hit Doak or Chuckey but, really, both leave A LOT to be desired.

I will second what Jabogitlu said. I had my boys in McDonald School (a way far out, rural county school) and it was good, but my youngest is gifted and it was very lacking for him.

Thanks for the information.
