Any thoughts?

Sumner County schools overall are fairly average but the ones in Hendersonville, Goodlettsville, and parts of Gallatin are excellent. The rest of the county is very rural. Merrol Hyde Magnet in Hendersonville is ranked as one of the top 3 schools in the state and one of the top 200 in the whole country.

We moved to Hendersonville from Chicago. We considered Franklin as well, but although we miss things that we had in Chicago (Evanston and Geneva Are the 2 areas we lived in up there) we are glad we picked Hendersonville . We frequent Franklin a lot for shopping and such and are always glad to get out of the traffic and back to our far less busy Hendersonville. Plus, if your like us, coming from Chicago, 30 minutes in the car to get to Whole Foods a few times a month is nothing compared to sitting on the Kennedy everyday Feel free to pm if you have specific questions. p.s on our way home Chicago now and our 8 hour drive has turned into 15 and and an extra day due to the wonderful
Weather there and N Indiana.
