GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Overall I've had an up and down experience with Murray High but I would never take back my experience for anything. I've grown a family there and made so so many memories.

I have found good friends, but there are some in the community that are inappropriate and aggressive. The food is really bad, so I often bring home lunch. The administration has always answered my questions and been very quick to provide help. There are some amazing teachers, but also some not great ones. I have been lied to about college, and they put way too much stress on us about it, although they do provide adequate resources.

I think Murray High School is an incredible school, it has very good and varied classes. The teachers are wonderful, without a doubt one of the best aspects. The school has an incredible school spirit, and they are very united. The only thing I think is missing is some diversity since there are many students from different cultures who do not feel identified at school.

Murray High is a great school. There is a wide variety of classes, including AP and concurrent enrollment classes, and a decent amount of clubs. The student government has been very strong, but the administration is lacking and often leaves you running around in circles trying to get something done....
