Forest Hills Vibes

In terms of in Forest Hills, they're pretty good! However, maybe not as good as one would expect as far as public schools would go. But I would like to offer the notion that, most of the folks living here, likely have their kids in private schools and their priority is private over public. Either way, in terms of public schools, the city is served by the Metro Nashville Public Schools, which is rated a C+ overall*. Hillsboro High School which serves Forest Hills, is rated a B-, while the John Trotwood Moore Middle School is rated a B+*. The Percy Priest Elementary School serving the area is rated a B+ as well*.

But folks living here are looking for the best of the best. Currently on the market, homes range from as low as $1.03m and upwards of $15m.
