Summary

Stewarts Creek High School serves 2,474 students in grades 9–12 in Smyrna, Tennessee, as part of Rutherford County Schools, and ranks 66th out of 400 Tennessee high schools with a 4-star rating. The school has held a 4-star rating consistently since 2016–2017, with only a single 3-star year in 2015–2016, making it one of the most reliable high schools in the district. It is the clear academic anchor of the Smyrna/La Vergne area, dramatically outperforming nearby district schools like Smyrna High School and Lavergne High School across nearly every metric.

Academically, Stewarts Creek shines in most core subjects. Biology I proficiency is 73.5% — the highest among all nearby comprehensive high schools, surpassing Nolensville High School (71.1%) and Blackman High School (65.4%). Algebra II and English II proficiency rates of 55.2% and 68.5% also exceed district and state averages. The one clear weakness is Algebra I, where 30% proficiency trails the district rate of 39.9% and nearby schools such as Blackman (38.7%) and Nolensville (39.0%). The fact that Algebra II scores are strong suggests that students who move past the initial gateway course are well supported.

Stewarts Creek also stands out for student persistence and efficiency. Its 98.9% graduation rate is the highest among all nearby high schools, and its 11.1% chronic absenteeism rate is well below the state average of 18.3%. At $10,804 per student, the school spends less than most comparable schools while producing top-tier outcomes — a sign of strong resource allocation. The school also posts strong results for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and for several other student groups. Overall, Stewarts Creek is a dependable, high-performing school that holds its own even against elite Williamson County schools, and represents an excellent option for Smyrna-area families.
