Murdock Elementary School

The school has outstanding teachers and they really put the core of the focus on students in the accelerated classes. The front desk and the administrators are very disrespectful towards parents which is unfortunate. Overall the school is great with kids that are advanced but sadly the overall atmosphere at the school is not a pleasant one.

I would rate this school an 8 over all. The admin doesn’t seem super friendly or open, but I’ve only had one experience bumping into them. Our Kindergarten teacher had high expectations and got results but could have been more tactful when speaking to me about my child. Our first grade teacher is AMAZING. She values critical thinking, kindness, and creativity.

the teachers are great but the principal assistant principals and front office staff are not very productive and need to be more professional.

I have 7 years of children at the school, the last 1-2 years has been an increasingly negative environment for staff and parents and the effect on students is showing. Parents are increasingly pushed to the sides, except when it comes to fundraising. I hope it turns around for our remaining years and administration improves.
