GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The time I spent at Murfreesboro High School was an unforgettable experience for sure. It had high points and low points like every high school, but this place is different everyone knows everybody and we're connected so well we grew up friends and graduated friends. All in all I had a fantastic experience at Murfreesboro High School.

I like that everyone knows everyone. I also like that we are very school spirited even though our boys program isn't all that great, but our girls athletic department is really good and improving each year.
