In Hazel Green, the Madison County School System runs three schools. Hazel Green High School serves as a high school for Hazel Green, Meridianville, New Market, and parts of northern Huntsville. Middle school students in Hazel Green attend Meridianville Middle located in Hazel Green. Fourth through sixth grade students attend Moores Mill Intermediate School. Kindergarten through third grade students attend Hazel Green Elementary School, Lynn Fanning Elementary, and Walnut Grove School.

Recreation and Culture

These communities have lots of natural beauty, including Wade Mountain Greenway, Scott's Apple Orchard, and Brown's Family Farm; the local farms and rural sites contribute to the small town feel.

Economics and Infrastructure

While Meridianville is heavily populated by neighborhoods more than commerce, Hazel Green has seen an explosion of growth recently, sparked by rampant job growth coming from nearby Huntsville. Hundreds of acres of generational farmland is quickly being replaced with houses, multi-family complexes, fast-food restaurant chains, and various other retail chains.
