I taught in the Owen District for 6 years before starting a career in real estate. Although a Realtor can't ethically tell you a certain school district is better than another, I can personally vouch for the schools in Black Mountain. It was a terrific place to work and I was proud to be among such a strong faculty (I taught at the middle school). The schools are not perfect by any means, but Owen Middle reached AYP and achieved high growth last year. If you go to
