Parents in Madison County have expressed relief at the announcement of a new Hazel Green Middle School is set to address overcrowding issues. Amy Cochran, a local resident, expressed her concerns about overcrowding, commenting: “It’s too crowded, and those kids are on top of each other, and they fight more…it’s just going to be so great to be able to have those numbers shrunk down.” The $53 million school will accommodate 1,200 seventh and eighth graders and is part of efforts to manage the area’s growth, according to David Vess, a member of the Madison County Board of Education. The school is scheduled to open for the 2027-2028 school year, with groundbreaking planned for later this month. Changes will also be made to other schools in the district to further alleviate overcrowding.
