Summary:
In zip code 37129, there is one public high school serving grades 9–12: Siegel High School, located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in the Rutherford County Schools district. Siegel High is a strong, stable performer, ranking 65th out of 400 Tennessee high schools for 2025–2026, putting it in the 84th percentile with a 4-star rating.
For parents, the standout news is that Siegel High School excels at graduating students: its graduation rate is 97.7%, well above the state average of 90.5%, and its dropout rate is just 2.1% compared to 6.7% statewide. Academically, the school outperforms the state in every tested subject. Its strongest areas are US History and English II, where 63.7% and 69.2% of students are proficient, respectively—both far ahead of state averages and leading the district by wide margins. Biology I proficiency is also solid at 58.9%. However, math is relatively weaker: while Siegel beats the state in Algebra II and Geometry, it trails its own district in Algebra I (30.6% vs. 39.9%), Algebra II (43.9% vs. 47.1%), and Geometry (45.9% vs. 47.7%). Year-over-year, the school is mostly stable or improving, with US History jumping an impressive 8.8 points and English II and Biology also rising.
One area to watch is chronic absenteeism. Siegel’s rate of 16.2% is better than the state's 18.3% but notably worse than the district's 11.3%, which is interesting given the school’s otherwise strong performance. Per-student spending is $12,148. While data on free/reduced lunch and student-teacher ratio is missing, the available information paints a clear picture: Siegel High School is a high-performing, above-average school with exceptional graduation rates and humanities achievement, but with room for improvement in math and attendance relative to its district peers.
