Germantown schools are a major draw
Poplar Estates is served by the Germantown Municipal School District, ranked the seventh-best school district in Tennessee, according to Niche. Students can start at Riverdale Elementary before heading to Houston High School. Both receive an A grade from Niche. “Riverdale is unique in that it goes kindergarten to eighth grade,” Adams says. “I don’t know any other school that doesn’t break it up. So these kids have an incredible bond, and there’s stability in the neighborhood because of that.” Houston High students can apply to the school’s Honors Academy or Leadership Academy, both of which include a capstone project and an emphasis on community service.
Riverdale Elementary in Germantown is designated as a Reward School by the state of Tennessee.
Houston High School has a well-maintained football field in Germantown.
