Murrah High School needs significant improvement. The administration isn't well-organized, and it often feels like they don't have the students' best interests in mind. Many things get overlooked, and communication is frequently poor. Students deserve a better environment where we, the students, feel supported, respected, and heard.

i would love to see the school more cleaner and the staff more nicer. Things at my school are off and backwards. I understand we have metal detectors but we shouldn't have to take everything out our books bags for them the check they are lazy but also to strict . when they need to be strict but they can't on certain things. staff are unprofessional just some
