Summary:
Zip code 37122 in Mount Juliet, Tennessee is home to two public high schools—Mt.

Both schools are exceptional, earning 5-star ratings and ranking among the top 40 high schools in the state, with Mt. Juliet at #33 and Green Hill at #38 out of 400 for 2025–2026.
These two schools are broadly similar in size and funding, but they have complementary strengths. Mt.

Green Hill counters with the area's highest graduation rate (98.8%) and lowest dropout rate (1.2%), and takes the lead in English II and Geometry. Both schools far exceed state averages in every subject, and both have shown rapid improvement over the past three years. However, chronic absenteeism is a concern, especially at Green Hill, where 26.7% of students are chronically absent versus the state average of 18.3%, even despite its excellent graduation outcomes.
Per-student spending is nearly identical—$10,336 at Mt. Juliet and $10,423 at Green Hill—so funding differences do not explain performance gaps. Mt. Juliet appears to place more students into advanced math earlier, as seen in its 9th-grade Geometry and 10th-grade Algebra II scores. Both schools are on strong upward trajectories: Mt. Juliet jumped from the 79th to the 92nd percentile in three years, while Green Hill climbed from the 85th to the 90th percentile. For parents, either school is a solid choice, with the main watchpoint being attendance—particularly at Green Hill—and the main takeaway being that this zip code offers two of Tennessee's best public high schools.
