About Cedar Hall School
Cedar Hall School serves students in grades 3 through 8 in Christiana, Tennessee, within Rutherford County. With 37 students, 2 full-time teachers, and a 15.4:1 student-teacher ratio, the school provides middle-grades education in a rural Tennessee community. No standardized test data is available.
Christiana is a rural community near a town in Rutherford County, southeast of Nashville, where median household income is about $102,000 and 29% of adults hold college degrees. The area has seen significant growth as part of greater Nashville's suburban expansion, with newer residential development coexisting alongside older agricultural and rural landscapes. The modest enrollment creates a tight-knit community where students and teachers know each other well.
Families in the area reflect a community invested in their children's futures, and the school draws from a neighborhood where education is a clear priority. The rural setting provides a quiet, unhurried environment where students can focus on learning and grow as part of a close community.
What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 37 students, Cedar Hall School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
As a private school, Cedar Hall School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
Located in a rural area, Cedar Hall School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
