Sumner County School Zones Ranked by Home Price: Six High School Zones From $392,535 to $585,000 (2026)

Sumner County's six high school zones closed 2,848 home sales in the past year, from a $392,535 median in Gallatin Senior to $585,000 in Beech. The ranking changes once you look at resale homes only.

Sumner County school zones do not follow city lines, and the prices inside them do not follow the headlines. From September 26, 2025, through September 25, 2026, homes in the Beech Senior High zone closed at a $585,000 median, the highest of the six zones, with Station Camp High right behind at $580,000 and Gallatin Senior High at the entry end with $392,535.

Look only at resale homes off the water and Station Camp moves to the top at $606,250, while Beech drops to $517,450. I'm Ryan Beals, born and raised in Gallatin and Hendersonville, and this guide ranks all six zones on the same closed-sale basis, then shows where new construction and lake frontage are doing the work behind a zone median.

If you are relocating with kids and want the step-by-step version, including how to look up an address, the guide to using school zones to narrow your Sumner County search walks through it. This post sticks to what each zone costs.

How Sumner County's Six High School Zones Rank by Price

The basis is every closed sale in Gallatin, Hendersonville and White House, Sumner County side only: 1,516 Gallatin sales, 1,101 Hendersonville sales and 231 White House sales, 2,848 in all at a $466,253 median. Each sale is grouped by its MLS high school assignment.

Beech and Station Camp are $5,000 apart at the top, Liberty Creek and Hendersonville hold the middle, and White House and Gallatin Senior anchor the value end. Gallatin Senior is also the busiest zone by far with 912 sales, while Liberty Creek closed 200. The new construction column matters as much as the price column: 47.8 percent of Gallatin Senior sales and 43.0 percent of White House sales were new homes, against 3.0 percent in Liberty Creek.

The Resale Reality Check: What the Zone Premium Looks Like on Resale Homes

A zone median mixes townhomes, new builds, lake homes and resales, and each zone has a different mix. To compare the assignment more honestly, the table below keeps only resale homes and removes lake and river frontage, 61 sales across the basis.

Resale = not new construction (MLS BuiltInfo other than New, To Be Built or Model). Lake and river frontage removed. Same window and basis as the table above.

Two things change. First, Beech falls from first to second, and it lands within a few thousand dollars of Liberty Creek. The Beech median is lifted by 108 new homes that closed at a median of $765,632, much of it in newer communities like Durham Farms, Mansker Farms, Oak Creek Estates and Norman Farm. On price per square foot, though, Beech still led on both bases, $235 on all sales and $233 on resales.

Second, Station Camp's resale median is higher than its overall median, because its 230 new homes closed at $509,507 and the zone carries more townhomes than Beech. Only 74.2 percent of Station Camp sales were detached site-built homes, against 95.4 percent in Beech.

The biggest gap shrinks once size is in the picture. Station Camp resales off the water closed $246,350 above Gallatin Senior resales, but they were 971 square feet larger at the median. Per square foot the difference was about $15, $229 against $214. In Gallatin Senior and White House, where new construction is close to half of all sales, the zone median reflects builder pricing as much as the resale market.

What Each Zone Gets You

Beech Senior High covers the Drakes Creek and northern Hendersonville side, with 456 sales at a $585,000 median and a 2,592 square foot median home. It is almost entirely detached, and its new construction runs well above the zone's resale prices. For the Hendersonville side in more detail, see the guide to Hendersonville school zones.

Station Camp High splits between Gallatin and Hendersonville addresses more than any other zone, with 617 sales at $580,000, 28 of them lakefront. The Station Camp school zone neighborhood guide breaks down which subdivisions fall where.

Liberty Creek High closed 200 sales at $513,663, nearly all resale, with a 2,442 square foot median home at $216 a foot. Its boundary is one of the trickiest in the county, which is why the Liberty Creek zone boundary guide shows which subdivisions are in and which miss by one street.

Hendersonville High closed 425 sales at $457,420, mostly established neighborhoods, with 21 lakefront sales and only 7.3 percent new construction. White House High closed 237 sales at $428,556 and had the lowest price per square foot, $204; the White House school zone buyer's guide covers that market. Gallatin Senior High closed 912 sales at $392,535 and holds most of the entry market; for how that budget compares across cities, see what $400,000 buys in Gallatin versus Hendersonville.

Many of my school-zone conversations start with a buyer who has already decided on one zone and wants help finding a house inside it. I ask what is driving that choice, and then I line up resale homes of similar size and age from that zone and the one next to it so we can see what the assignment itself costs. The common worry is that the less expensive zone will hurt resale later, so I show how each zone's resales have actually moved instead of guessing. Some buyers stay with their first choice and some widen the search, and either way I have them confirm the address with Sumner County Schools before we write an offer.

School Feeder Patterns in Sumner County

Each high school draws from specific middle and elementary schools, and an elementary line can split a neighborhood even when the high school does not. The most common assignments in the closed sales are below. They describe assignment only, not school quality.

Most common MLS school assignments in closed RealTracs sales. Howard Elementary appears under more than one high school, which is exactly why every address needs its own check. Verify assignments directly with Sumner County Schools.

How Zone Prices Moved Over the Past Year

A year ago the three-city basis was closing at a median of $447,000 across 2,927 sales. Today that number is $466,253 on 2,848 sales, up $19,253 or 4.3 percent. That increase tells you prices held firm, though part of it is a change in what sold: new construction fell from 39.3 to 32.1 percent of sales.

The zone-level changes are mostly mix. Station Camp rose 8.4 percent overall, from $535,000 to $580,000, but its resales off the water rose 1.0 percent; the jump came from pricier new construction and fewer townhomes. Beech fell 1.9 percent overall while its resales rose 5.1 percent, because new homes dropped from 38.2 to 23.7 percent of its sales. Gallatin Senior rose 6.1 percent overall while its resale median stayed at $359,900. White House rose 3.5 percent, Hendersonville 0.4 percent, and Liberty Creek slipped 1.2 percent.

Who Is Actually Buying in the Sumner County School Zones, and When They Look

Most zone-driven buyers fall into a few groups: households relocating to the Nashville area who start with an assignment and work outward, local move-up buyers who want more space without changing schools, and first-time buyers working the new construction and townhome market in the Gallatin Senior and White House zones. Many try to close before the school year starts, so spring and early summer are when a lot of these searches get serious.

The commute is the trade. From most of Gallatin the route runs along Vietnam Veterans Boulevard, State Route 386, to I-65, and downtown Nashville is typically 45 to 55 minutes most mornings. Hendersonville is typically 40 to 50 minutes, and White House, straight down I-65, about 30 to 45 minutes. The Long Hollow Pike and Highway 386 interchange at 109 is the friction point on the Gallatin side, and school-zone lines run close to that corridor, so drive it at rush hour before committing to a street.
