On state assessments, Murrah High School outperformed the district in some subject areas, such as Algebra I, English II, and U.S. History, but underperformed in others, like Biology.

Murrah High School serves a predominantly low-income population, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate.

Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to improve student outcomes could be important focus areas for the school and the district.
