Summary

Beech Senior High School is a large, highly-ranked public high school in Hendersonville, Tennessee, serving 1,477 students in grades 9-12 as part of Sumner County Schools. The school has earned a 5-star rating from the state and consistently ranks among Tennessee's best high schools, coming in at 30th out of 400 schools in 2025-2026—a position it has held steadily over recent years.

Academically, Beech outperforms both its district and state averages in nearly every subject, with English II, US History, and Algebra II being particular strengths. The school is part of an elite cluster of high-performing Sumner County schools, ranking just above Hendersonville High School and White House High School, while two nearby schools—Liberty Creek High School and Station Camp High School—rank even higher. Biology is the one clear academic weak spot, with proficiency rates below the district average and significantly lower than those posted by its top-performing neighbors. This suggests a specific curriculum opportunity for the school, which excels in most other tested subjects.

Beech also stands out for its efficiency and equity. The school spends less per student ($11,592) than nearly all comparable nearby high schools, yet achieves better results than many peers that spend more. Students in all reported demographic groups perform well above state averages, with notable improvement among African American students in recent years—a trend that speaks to the school's commitment to serving all students well. With a graduation rate of 92.6% and very low dropout and chronic absenteeism rates, Beech is a strong, cost-effective choice for families. The main areas to watch are Biology instruction, special education outcomes, and slightly lower graduation rates compared to the district, but overall Beech is an established, high-performing school that delivers excellent results for Hendersonville families.
