Across the district, test results trail the state in every reported subject, and math is the weakest area. Toy Town Elementary and Murdock Middle School each sit more than 22 points below the state math proficiency rate, while Murdock High School is about 16 points behind in 10th grade math. Among the three tested schools, Murdock Middle School has the strongest overall profile: the highest ELA proficiency (30.95%), a 2-star rating at the 31st percentile, and 6th grade ELA (39.76%) nearly matching the state. Murdock High School has the best 10th grade math results (27.78%) and stronger completion rates than the district, but its 10th grade ELA and science dropped sharply from the prior year.
Grade-level differences within schools are large. Toy Town Elementary performs far better in 5th grade ELA and science than in 4th grade, where ELA and math are both very low. Murdock Middle School has 6th grade ELA near the state but much lower 7th grade ELA, and its science fell nearly 10 points year over year. Memorial, serving only K–2, has no test or rating data and the highest student-teacher ratio (16.6). Free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable for all schools, so poverty cannot be assessed from this data.
