Murfreesboro has taught me many lessons. I have learned skills to use outside of the classroom. The only bad experience with the school is not much help from the counselor she signing up for college classes. The school has offered the opportunity to take concurrent classes, but it was difficult to get signed up for my classes.

Murfreesboro schools is what most would consider an average school. It's out in a small town so you can't expect much from it. But Murfreesboro school has almost a large school personality. It has many clubs and sports. The school itself has a kind community within it and has a large spirit of competition. My best moments lie in the clubs where I was able to connect with student and teachers. My worst moments would have to be lunch with its sometimes questionable meals. But overall Murfreesboro is a kind school.

Although Murfreesboro high school is in a small town, it is not the best school it could be. Staff could teach at a faster pace. But all in all, it is a less than average school.
