William Seach scored below both in every subject — 27.85% in ELA, 31.85% in math, and 32.69% in science — and was below district and state in every reported grade-level subject. The gap between the two schools is substantial: Murphy led Seach by 18.71 points in ELA, 21.59 points in math, and 20.97 points in science. Murphy’s only grade-level shortfall was 4th grade ELA at 38.78%, just under the district’s 40.32% but above the state’s 37.43%.

Both schools are improving over time, but at different speeds and from different starting points. William Seach rose from the 21st percentile in 2023–2024 to 29th in 2025–2026, with gains of +6.27 points in math and +6.93 in science year over year, though its ELA slipped 0.47 points and it remains at 1 star. Frederick C Murphy climbed from the 51st to the 68th percentile while holding 3 stars, adding +5.68 points in ELA, +7.45 in math, and +12.84 in science — the largest single-subject gain in the data. Resource figures differ slightly (Murphy at a 13.9 student-teacher ratio and $16,555 per student in 2020–2021; Seach at 14.5 and $15,658), but free/reduced lunch data are blank for both schools, so those numbers should be read cautiously.
