I went to Murphy for all of my junior high schools. I love the school and the staff. The administration (front desk) is amazing!! There are teachers there who truly care. Especially Mr. Erickson and Mrs. Borneman, if you have them.

I would say the school was fine, I didn't really get that much homework really, well, sometimes which was annoying and stressful. But anyway, the teachers were good some were nice, kind, respectful, supportive, etc. While, oth...

The teachers are pretty good. Behavior is becoming an issue though (but might be the same at most schools). When there are fights and the kid is in the next class, makes many think that fights are okay (along with many other behavior issues). As much as I enjoy this school, I am sure I am not being...

This school is TRASHY. They don't care about anybody's feelings or opinions. I'm a student and I don't even wan't to go to school anymore. I don't feel safe. DO NOT, consider this school as a choice for your children.

Both my son and daughter attended this school. My kids both were in sports and clubs. My daughter is going to be a Freshman at Oswego East and is prepared and excited. The teachers are so supportive and I thank you for the great job you did for my family.
