The administration is so horrible at this school. We have left messages at the school that have went unanswered. The office staff seems very reluctant to help relay messages to students. I've experienced this first-hand, and have also met other parents with the same experience. We do like the resource teachers here, and some of the teachers have been really good. We love the teacherease.com that most of the teachers seem to be using, so that parents have a clear idea of the day-today progress of their child.

I called in to get a message to my son because I unexpectedly had to leave home (Morgan Hill) and go in to San Jose, so I wouldn't be home, and needed him to not get on the bus - so I could pick him up - I was informed that they do not take messages. Safety of children is not priority. I have left a message for the principal - no return call. Basically, from my experience the office does not return phone calls. Teachers: Some good, and some not so great. Last year my son was getting A's in Science, and this year, 1st trimester, an 'F' so far!!?? He says he doesn't understand the teacher. Zero communication from the school on this also.

I am a parent at Martin Murphy. There are some terrific teachers there who make a difference. As for their communication and administration, I have had several disappointing experiences. In addition to this, their phone system has no personal touches and is annoying to navigate.

I'm a student of Martin Murphy Middle School , and i just graduated from my 8th grade and I think that this school is good in a great many aspects but even lacks in various ways too. But on the whole it's a good school to me it means a lot because this school actually gave me so much. Thanks Murphy!!!!!!!!!
