Summary

Siegel High School is a large public high school in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, serving 1,910 students in grades 9–12 as part of Rutherford County Schools. The school currently holds a 4-star rating on SchoolDigger and ranks 65th out of 400 Tennessee high schools, placing it in the 84th percentile statewide. Siegel has generally performed well over the past decade, though its ranking has bounced around — from a high of 33rd in 2016-2017 to a low of 140th in 2015-2016 — with the recent trend pointing upward from its 2022-2023 dip.

Siegel's clearest academic strength is U.S. History, where 63.7% of students score proficient, well above the district's 50.1% and the state's 42.4%. Among nearby schools, only Blackman High School comes close at 60.5%. English II is another reliable bright spot, with proficiency rates consistently above district and state averages in recent years. The school also excels at keeping students on track: 97.7% of students graduate, and the dropout rate is just 2.1%, far below the state's 6.7%. Siegel also posts notably strong results for African American students and students from low-income households, ranking in the 83rd and 85th percentiles statewide, respectively.

The biggest academic concern is Algebra I, where only 30.6% of test-takers score proficient, trailing the district's 39.9%. The story is nuanced, though — Siegel's 9th-grade Algebra I scores actually match the district average, with the wider gap driven by older students taking or retaking the exam. Chronic absenteeism is another red flag: 16.2% of students miss significant school time, the highest rate among nearby comprehensive high schools like Stewarts Creek High School (11.1%) and Blackman (11.9%), though it remains below the state's 18.3%. Siegel spends $12,148 per student, more than most peer schools, but that investment doesn't always translate into higher scores. If the school can improve math outcomes and reduce absences, it has the potential to become a consistent top-50 performer in Tennessee.

Thursday, December 13, 2012

I am so disappointed in Siegel High School for they do not controll Bullying or Drug sales between students. I am having a real hard time enforcing good behaver in this school when perscription drugs are so easy to get. My son is a Junior and has had multiple threats from the DRUGGIES if he doesn't buy they will beat him up. Teachers do not controll there classrooms for they are loud and unruley. What has happened to this school this year? Is it a principle, SRO, and administration that don't care about the safety and disapline that goes on? I am at the point of home schooling my child, and advising others not to let there children go to this school..... Close Quote
