Murphy Elementary School has consistently performed better than the district average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels.

The school's performance is particularly strong in the upper grades, with 7th-grade ELA proficiency at 58.1% and 8th-grade Mathematics proficiency at 20%.

The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students and white students, has been relatively stronger and more consistent compared to the overall school performance, but the school's performance for English Language Learner students and students with disabilities indicates a potential area for improvement.

This school fulfills it's mission statement of creating a caring community. The teachers are excellent at imparting knowledge and developing respectful, considerate children. They foster an appreciation of reading and the arts, and have high-quality partnerships with organizations like Ravinia Festival, Old Town School of Folk Music, Girls In The Game, the YMCA, and more. As an educator myself, I would not have my child in Murphy if I was displeased with care and quality of the environment. The websites that show less-than-strong ratings make me sad because they are such misrepresentations of this wonderful school. Close Quote

Murphy is such a gem in our community! We chose to send our children here over other offers to magnet and selective enrollment schools and are so happy with our decision. They are both thriving at Murphy due to the strong classroom instruction, myriad field trips, individualized and differentiated teaching methods and a "can-do" attitude. Being a Fine and Performing Arts Magnet Cluster school, the arts are effortlessly integrated into their daily instruction and they also have specials such as dance, drama, visual arts, and music that build on and circle back to their daily experiences. But core subjects like math, reading, social studies and science are still doing amazing things too! There are also after school programs, School Band, Choir, Sports, etc. This year I have been so impressed by my children's teachers. My kindergartener loves school and her class even raised money to have a Skype event with a famous children's book author/illustrator. My 2nd grader's class put on a Whale Museum and a Wax Museum, both of which blew me away. The depth and breadth of subjects that they have been studying is amazing and I can't wait to see what's next. Close Quote

Lovely, clean school with lots of free afterschool programs for 3-6 grades. Great teachers. In the early grades (Pre-K -2) there is an emphasis on the Reggio classroom method. Excellent principal and assistanct principal. Choir, band, dance and drama, music and visual arts round out the art curriculum. Active parent community. Close Quote
