I understand what you're getting at nashvols, it's just that's not how most people feel though when they choose where to live at. I'm trying to say that most people who are anything but left-wingers (libertarians,conservatives,and fans of the American Third Position party) prefer to live in Nashville's suburbs, and I respect that.

What data do you have that suggests Station Camp and other Hendersonville schools are in the same league as Merrol Hyde magnet school?

Also, how would you rank these elementary schools in order of ranking? From my research so far, Jack Anderson, Indian Lake and Beech are the best elementary schools in Hendersonville. I hope to have the best public schools narrowed down so I can focus on finding a rental property in that school zone.

As for the social orientation of the city. I do not mind that the city is conservative, and white. What I hope is that city is mostly tolerant, respectful and non-discriminatory.

I hope to hear back some more useful information on the schools.

Those are all great schools and I don't think you could go wrong with any 3 but from personal experience I can say that Beech is excellent. It's also very convenient that the elementary, middle, and high schools are right together. This is also a very beautiful area of Hendersonville. You might also check out Madison Creek Elementary which is technically in Goodlettsville but zones to Beech schools.

Personally I don't think Station Camp, Hendersonville, or Beech are necessarily in the same league as Merol Hyde because its a different type of school. I mean there are many parents with gifted children or children who get very good grades that don't even consider Merol Hyde because they want their kids in a traditional school and these schools still offer gifted and enrichment programs at all levels and AP and dual enrollment classes at the HS level. However, if you want the extra enrichment and a more tailored education to your child's learning method and interests Merol Hyde is the way to go.

I'm a very liberal foreigner who has lived many years in Hendersonville with no issue. I don't mind many people that agree with my views but I find even less who are not at least tolerant of them.

Hope this helps.

Thank you viavalafrance for staying on the topic and providing some valuable feedback on the schools.
We will be visiting Nashville, this coming Friday and hope to visit some neighborhoods around these elementary schools.

As always thanks for all your help.
