Murray Elementary School is wonderful! The principal is amazing. She engages with the kids in and out of the classroom (not hiding in her ivory tower) which I haven't seen (to this degree) before in previous schools. The fact that the teachers are willing to make home visits is unique and served to greatly ease the transition of my child into a new grade. Also, there are programs like Odyssey of the Mind that allow the kids to have a creative outlet. This is a great balance for the test score-driven environment that schools have become. And test scores...MES is ranked #13 in KY and is part of the system that received a KY District of Distinction award. MES has done a great job of preparing my child for the next step academically as well as socially and emotionally. I can't complain! Close Quote
