Murphy Is at the very least the worst school I have ever been too. Ever wondered if you can get contact high? Go to 1 out of the 5 bathrooms if it is not blocked off lmao. Imagine someone taking a poop and putting it on a tray. If you hate your kids or need some type of punishment for them send them here.

2020 Graduate. While MHS offers some excellent teachers, I feel some aspects are overlooked. I would have liked more guidance being ready for college. They are big into sports. If you don't play, you fall through the cracks.

Murphy High School is an actual joke. The teachers do not teach. The administration is horrible and no one knows what they are doing. Test scores are always low due to no teaching.

I would not recommend anyone to put there student in Murphy High School because the environment is unsafe and the teachers except a few teachers actually know what is going on with the students, the Principal is on a power trip since she became principal, the office staff is unhelpful when it's come...

Graduated from here in 2017. Absolutely loved the school. Athletics program was good, education was pretty good. Go bulldogs!

I loved my time at Murphy it has some small problems like all schools but Murphy is by far the best school in the area. Quality teachers and quality athletics which cultivates hard work, a winning attitude, and great memories. If I had it to do over again I would still go to Murphy I have friends in...

When my children went here we encountered the same thing many others have said - they have a fine athletic program. While athletics are important, so are academics and they are sadly overshadowed by the athletics. We found drugs to be such a problem there that my children chose to transfer to nearby...
