The school has received both an “A” rating from the district and an 8 out of 10 from Greatschools.com. The school credits its success to the devoted faculty and staff.

It’s clear everyone lives by the school’s motto: “to teach and inspire, to reach and transform, every student, every year.” Students round out academic subjects with art and music. They also participate in project-based, hands-on STEM (Science, technology, engineering and mathematics) classes. All students at Murchison Elementary School get plenty of exercise as “Murchison Mustang Movers.” This made-for-kids fitness program promotes health and wellness with fun physical activities. With high standards, a committed and caring staff and lots of opportunities for students to make, do and explore, Murchison Elementary’s reputation for excellence will likely endure for years to come.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
