Mt. Juliet Athletics

[gator]

What kind of overall athletics program does Mt. Juliet High School have? Is it a good school athletically and academically? Is Mt. Juliet a good area to live in? Any feedback would greatly be appreciated.

In addition to the previous post, how are the youth sports programs in Mt. Juliet, such as football, baseball, etc? Is there a lot of parental support? Thanks.

How does Mt. Juliet's athletic facilities compare to other schools in the area?

mt juliet is in wilson co. its not too bad a place. they have always had pretty good youth programs. they really got hurt a few years back when wilson central opened. it will help mt juliet moving down to 4A. they were in a region with riverdale, oakland, blackman, smyrna, etc. and they were never gonna compete for a region championship or the playoffs. are you looking to take a job there or what ?

From an outside point of view, MJ has excellent support for youth sports programs, specifically baseball and football. Decent to good facilities for them. Football at the HS level took a huge hit when Wilson Central opened up and coaching shakeup. School facilities across the board are substandard and need a huge upgrade. Decent HS football stadium, more suited for the 4A level. Their football past has been pretty good; the future direction is a little cloudy. Good girls athletics historically.

MJ has had excellent basketball in the past--girls more than boys, although lately, the boys have come on.

In response to topkak, I have taken a job in Nashville and am looking for a nice community outside of Davidson Co. to live in for my wife and son. Any other suggestions on good surrounding, affordable areas?

Your best bet would be Williamson County or Rutherford County!

 

Both counties have great schools, parks, malls, restaurants, neighborhoods, and churches! If you have a family, both are great counties to raise a family in! Most of the Titans and their coaching staff live in Williamson County!

Gator, depending on what area of Davidson co. your employer is located,

if it's northern Davidson then you might consider Sumner Co. schools. All schools in this county have excellent sports programs, education is not bad. Affordable homes can be found in White House which is right of Interstate 65. It's only a 20 minute drive to Nashville.

I'll echo the post about where you work in Nashville is important to where you live. If you don't have to commute from North of Nashville into the city, you are better off! Traffic congestion and volume is the worst in the state during rush hours. If you are working east of downtown, Wilson County is fine; working southeast of the city, Rutherford County is fine (traffic is ridiculous though coming into downtown from I-24). If you work downtown, Green Hills, or Southern side, Williamson County is your top bet. Commute from Cool Springs area to Downtown during peak hours is 25 minutes. As far as education and amenities, your best bet is Williamson County. I am biased as to which school, and will respond with my reasons if asked, but at this point you haven't. If you want to live in Davidson County, IMO, be prepared for private school tuition to enter in the discussion.

The Brentwood School District (Williamson County) is considered by most to be the best in Tennessee. It is not cheap to live there but they have great academics and athletic facilities for the whole family.
