Stratford High School (Tennessee)

Stratford STEM Magnet High School (formerly Stratford Comprehensive High School) is a magnet school in Nashville, Tennessee, operated by Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. It serves approximately 800 students. In March 2012, the Metro Board of Education dropped the "Comprehensive" title from all its zoned schools to reflect the district's new emphases on smaller learning communities and thematic career academies.^[1] The school is noteworthy as MNPS's only STEM high school. The school colors are White, Gray, Black, and Orange. In early 2019, the principal was put on paid administrative leave over Grade Discrepancy Allegations, though they were later debunked.

Stratford was most known by students from 2018-2020 as the school who couldn't catch a break. Many false bombing reports were called into the building, resulting in the infamous Walk to the Church event where students were forced to take a painstaking walk to a church where they stayed for a long period before being allowed back on campus.
