My daughter has been going to the “big mesita” now for a couple of years and one thing that sticks out to me the most is the staff’s attitudes. Throughout the years, my daughter has told me how the lunchroom personnel and some of the teachers are condescending and just seem downright annoyed when they speak to the kids. My husband even witnessed a situation like this there in person. I’m not ok with this. I don’t send my child to school to be abused or ridiculed & I’ll be damned if someone gives my kid a complex. They need some training on how to manage children more effectively. I can understand now why no one wants to go the public school route anymore.

I have had a wonderful experience this year as a Murphree parent. My child is loving the classes, teachers and classmates in the middle school. Episd makes it easy to check grades and communicate with the teachers through the parent portal and the app. The uniform is flexible compared to our previous school and my child seems more comfortable and happy with this school than the previous one. I can see big improvements in her grades and attitude. The school also has a variety of clubs and extracurricular to keep kids engaged and the discipline is excellent.
