It's a great school with strong visual and performing arts. There is not a strong culture of academic rigor or challenging yourself and there is a decent problem with drugs and fighting. It really is what you make of it and everyone is capable of having an enjoyable high school experience there and learning plenty.

My time at Murrow was very well spent. I met some amazing and more amazing friends. High school was when I really became independent and started making my own choices. But to make the right choices I had great teachers who cared about my education and pushed me to be better.
