Murdock Elementary School

Excellent school, with awesome staff, and great opportunities for parental involvement. My son is in third grade and he is truly proud of his school.

We could not be any happier with this school! Everyone knows our children by name, and the attention that they receive is better than what I recall getting in private school as I was raised. My son is in the special needs class and Murdock's team of professional therapists has helped him progress a LOT over the last few months! We were looking for a bigger house, and we only searched in the Murdock boundaries until we finally found one that suit our needs.

It's only the start of the school year but so far we are thrilled with Murdock and the instruction our kindergartner is receiving. His teacher is energetic, organized, even-handed and positive. He is already learning a lot and coming home happy! The sense of school spirit is strong and infectious--the staff generates a real sense of community. Hope to be writing a similar review at the end of fifth grade!

I have two children at Murdock and have been disappointed in the school recently. The quality of teachers has gone down in the past few years, as has involvement in the PTA. This year I have felt as if I have been teaching my child his lessons during homework for 4th grade. It doesn't seem as if the lessons are taught in the classroom. This is the same experience with other parents as well. It may be the mandates that have come down from the county but it doesn't feel as if my 4th grader will be prepared for middle school.
