Review of Cookeville, Tennessee


Crime and drug ridden, poor schools.
Star Rating - 7/31/2020
Been here for 4-5 years now, crime is on the rise and pay is stagnant, don't look for much over 28k a year in gross income here.

Lots of areas are getting metro traffic runoff which means all the unsavory sort from the metros who can't afford to live there are now crowding the town. Tech has some terribly rude students, the people aren't friendly and work off a 5 big family or who you know good ole boys club. In reality this town is just a bigger version of its neighboring city. Sparta. Don't be fooled by the reviews, 40 years ago this town was the utopia of the Cumberland but with recent events Crossville is a better choice, if not by much. Don't even get me started on the school system, only 1 school is rated well in the elementary sect and you have to know someone to really get into that area.
