College Grove Elementary School

I've lived in the College Grove area for almost 30 years. We moved out this way back in 1982 and…read moremy sister and I attended the old College Grove Elementary, which is now the Senior Center. When they rebuild the school just a little way down the road I was worried that it would loose some of the small town charm the old one had but I was mistaken. When my children were old enough they started at the new school and low and behold two of the teachers who taught when I was there, was still teaching. Long story short, College Grove Elementary School receives top marks each year from the state for the level of education they provide our children. It was a real pleasure as my two went all the way through from Pre-K to fifth grade. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a good school, College Grove is an excellent choice.

A large part of me wants to stay silent--because it's easier. But another part of me knows I need to speak out, if only to warn other families. What we witnessed at FRCS wasn't just favoritism--it was a pattern of corruption that began at the top, with the newly appointed pastor, and trickled straight through the administration. At the center of this pattern was a husband-and-wife duo--both administrators--who, in the fall of 2024, devised a plan that directly benefited their child, while overlooking other students. We learned of this scheme through their own child. In the months that followed, their student worked to advance that scheme--lying, slandering peers, and creating a false narrative, all make that "advantage" seem genuine. Our daughter became a direct target of those lies. Classrooms full of students witnessed the behavior. When we brought our concerns to the principal--this student's father--he denied the possibility of wrongdoing. We escalated our concerns to the pastor, imploring him to look into even broader accusations of cheating, dishonesty, and ethical violations. We hoped someone in leadership would take a stand for what's right. Instead, after weeks of meetings, we sat in stunned silence at the 2025 graduation ceremony as this same student was honored--not with one, but two Christian character awards. We had done everything the right way. We remained private. We spoke respectfully. We went to the appropriate leaders. We presented clear concerns. And in return, it was completely dismissed. This isn't about awards. It's about integrity. It's about what it means to be a Christ follower, especially when no one is watching. FRCS had an opportunity to stand for truth. Instead, they chose favoritism. To be clear, we have a clean conscience before God. We didn't exaggerate. We didn't lie. We told the truth. And yet, we were met with denial and performative "resolutions" that resolved nothing. The damage done that day won't be forgotten--by us, by our daughter, or by the many students and parents who were just as stunned. The message FRCS sent was loud and clear: corruption will be rewarded if it comes from within the "church". If you have a student who excels academically, athletically or in any other way, know there is a high likelihood they will be overlooked for more favored students.

Riverdale High School is a great high school. Honestly, as far as Tennessee schools go, the…read moreenvironment is great and the staff genuinely care about the students. Riverdale is nothing like the city schools that are great mis-mash of conflicting cultures and ideals which results in most kids attending private schools. Most students who attend Riverdale have parents who has attended Riverdale which means generations of people love this school. There are many other little things about Riverdale that make it unique. Although there is definitely a presence of drugs, it's never become remotely violent. Most people who do drugs here mostly do weed, which isn't too harmful. Riverdale does have a no-tolerance policy on smoking, drugs, and drinking, so if any student starts to over-do, another student is likely to report them. Most of our problems with stupid Freshmen who think they're smart. Earlier this year two freshman football players that are not so decent people started vaping every morning before getting on the bus. It got so smelly that they got reported. On another incident, a freshman girl (often tries to be cool by bringing drugs), brought wine in a clear water bottle then shared it. She confessed and got off easy, while the boy she shared it with got suspension because he tried to lie about it being kool-aid. Kids who do serious things get sent to local alternative school. Even with the drugs, Riverdale is very non-violent and very few people actually hate each other. Sure, gossip happens but it's mostly bark (no bite). Kids here seem to really enjoy talking to each other and the cliques aren't really that judgmental (excluding the racist hillbilly kids or the black kids, mostly girls, who act uppity). In fact, if you have some smarts, you can make a lot of fast friends in many different colors and interests. It's a very relaxed environment with very little drama. Riverdale has several focuses. Mr. Nolan, who runs the school, is super lenient with his students. He tries to give them the best and really cares about every kid. If you're into machines and fixing uppin, Riverdale has a built in body shop to experiment on cars and other machinery. The ag department also offers a class on fixing farming equipment if you're into that. As far as electronics go, they also offer programming classes that make videos games and from my impression the students enjoy. During lunch the programming students can be found in the teacher's room watching videos or working on coding. A good main focus is the student moral and sports. Mr. Nolan loves his rallies in the Gym and recently had the Gym redone as a result. He mainly focuses on rallies for the main sports teams such as football and our famous girls' basketball team that just won again this year. However unless students try to rise up and ask for less popular sports that we're also mega successful in to me recognized, sports like wrestling will be ignored. They are building another athletics building right now, and I don't exactly know what it is for. However, they already have a swimming pool, a gym, a track and football field, and among other things. The ag department has two separate parts. Small animal has an in-building collection of animals, including guinea pigs, rabbits, a corn snake, ferrets, degus, rats, mice, an iguana, two bearded dragons, and chinchillas. They also have rabbits outside in hutches. Large animal charge has sheep, goats, and I believe also works with cows and horses from other places. The ag department hosts FFA which is great for anyone interested in farming, livestock, or just going out and doing stuff with animals. They volunteer with the local shelter. The science depart is also notable. They have a very active science club that will take outings to the local Barfield-Cresent park and volunteer to pick up trash, test water, etc. They also have taken field trips to go caving or canoeing. Mr. Hurt and Ms. Hargrove are super friendly. Mr. Hurt is arguably my favourite teacher as if you are interested in science and want to learn more about genetics in particular species or have him review scientific papers, he will take extra time to do that. The language department is eh. They offer Latin, Spanish, and German. The current German teacher is very lenient, sometimes too much. I'm sure he's a great guy but he sometimes makes fun of his students when they're trying to learn. I've heard eh things about the Spanish teacher as well. The English department is arguably one of the best. All the English teachers really, really care about their students and their grades. Many of the teachers who get the students with the higher test scores refuse to teach the state tests and instead have us actually writing papers with little worksheets to help us find textual evidence. Overall, Riverdale is a great school with many upsides. It's an old school and looks run down, but the community makes it worth attending for fourth years. Recommended.

Another problem with it is that they don't care about the students they care about getting him in and out they pass their own care if they feel they don't care it is just you you can have a few connections with a few teachers. Lastly I would like to point out that the environment doesn't feel very great the students there are the only fun part about it and the teachers there only a few teachers there then OK one positive note though is that those few teachers that are good it will make you your experience a little better there's one principle that is OK..

This was a fun yet really educational session, and they managed to get the four and eight hour classes finished earlier than expected... which was a huge relief! The course was at the Holiday Inn Express on Chaffin Place in Murfreesboro, (I give that place four and a half stars itself... not a full five as it didn't have a restaurant) and we could get coffee, avail ourselves of the food at the full breakfast bar... not a bad deal. We played cool games in between the necessary videos, quizzes and tests, with a break about halfway through the four hour course, and a lunch hour for the eight hour... however, we managed to cover so much so quickly with retention that we were out of there hours earlier than expected. (We were a group of smart cookies! Yay us!) I can seriously say I learned a lot today. Things have changed since I took drivers ed. Barrett and Kayla are a great team... he's the teacher, and she's the silent but efficient partner; I really got a kick out of her as I know she's as charismatic as he is! We got tips on how to efficiently deal with our completion certificates, got the fax numbers AND the number to call to follow up to make sure the Department of Safety actually HAD received it... I don't trust a fax transmittal sheet myself. I want to know an actual PERSON has gotten that fax from that machine and done what they were supposed to do with it. This is my driver's license we are talking about here! So, they made sure each person knew what to do in their particular situation. All in all? I had a great day with a group of great people... exceptional teachers... an A+ school in all regards. If one must attend this sort of thing? This is the one! I got a discount for signing up and paying online as well!!!

Regardless of political beliefs, I do not believe these comments belong in a private Christian school.

After speaking with other families, it became clear that I was not the only person who experienced inappropriate comments or issues obtaining requested recordings. For a school whose mission is "To make Jesus famous in the lives of our students," my experience left me questioning whether that mission is reflected in its leadership.
