4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI think the school is okay, but mostly okay for kids who are Caucasian. Majority teaching staff is Caucasian. Diversity and Inclusion is obviously not a thing at this school. The African American kids have to work 3 times as hard as the Caucasian kids to get recognized the same way the Caucasian kids do who can do the very little. I think the school can be okay and be better if they focus more on diversity and inclusion. The teachers also does not seem to care much about the kids in a way that is caring. Some of the teachers seem more like it is a job than caring to ensure all the students are included and congratulated equally. I cannot give this school 5 stars because of these things.Parent Review2y ago - Murphy High School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMurphy has an incredibly large array of things to offer their students! Their IB program is top notch and they also offer a plethora of Dual Enrollment and Early College classes through The University of Alabama and The University of South Alabama. They also offer a ton of electives. The teachers are wonderful and some are even college professors at local colleges. They will go above and beyond for their students and I really appreciate that.Teacher Review7mo ago
