It's almost time for schools in the Tri-Lakes area to open up their doors for the start of another new year. People considering relocation to the Branson area, often ask me about the schools. We are fortunate to have very good schools throughout Taney and Stone counties.

There is a highly useful State of Missouri web site that lists extensive details on all the schools in the state. Click here to view this web site.                    

This site lists information on each school in several categories, including a directory, maps, demographics, calendar, students per teacher, average teacher and administrator salaries and experience, graduation and attendance rates, test scores, and much more.

One more thing you'll need to know are the names of the school districts in the area: Branson, Hollister, Forsyth, Kirbyville, Reeds Spring, Blue Eye, and Galena.

I hope you'll find this web site useful in your comparison of schools. And, one piece of advice: Enjoy your children because they grow up too fast!
