hsbbweb, I checked with the State of Tennessee and Maryville's test scores are a lot better than Blount County's. See the following website: http://www.state.tn.us/education/tstvaas.htm
You'll see that Maryville City Schools are well above average, and Blount County Schools are lacking in most areas.
Education was the main reason my parents paid tuition for me to go to MHS, and having a great athletic program was also nice too.
