Murphy Elementary School was an alright experience. There was little to no diversity and it was a small school in a small town. The school looked kind of dull too much like a kid-friendly environment that was cheaply and quickly made. Racism was not uncommon among students and teachers along with other forms of bullying. Last names mattered a lot also with it being a small town. Everyone knew everyone's family and friends.
