Before you buy

Check the zone for the exact address

School assignment and property taxes depend on the exact address, so verify them with the school district and the county for any home you are serious about. Zones can change, so confirm the current zone with the district before you buy and again before you enroll.

A checklist for checking schools at a specific address

  1. Find the zoned school with the district's own tool, linked above, using the exact address.
  2. Ask the district about registration. Districts set the paperwork and proof of residence they require, and the dates.
  3. Ask about transfers and zone waivers. If a family is thinking about a school other than the zoned one, the district's policy decides whether that is possible.
  4. Read the state's own numbers. The Tennessee Department of Education publishes the State Report Card for every school and district, including enrollment and student data. It is the state's data, not my opinion.
  5. Visit and ask questions. Schools can tell you about programs, schedules and how they work with families.

I do not rate or rank schools, and I do not steer buyers toward or away from any school or neighborhood. Fair housing law protects your right to choose where to live, and the districts' own information is the right place to start.
