I have only been going to Murphey for about 5 months due to the pandemic but in my experience, I don't feel like it a completely terrible they a lot of programs and their sports team are good. But on the other hand, there were a lot of fights and many of the teachers and don't try to understand whats going on with their students and everywhere I turned I heard arguments between students and teachers. There was also an incident where a student was unboxing at home using a box cutter and then got in trouble because it fell out of his while at school and he had to go to tribunal. But to they really prepare their student for high school because 8th graders are required to take 9th-grade science and there are options for AP math, English, and social studies.
