It’s a great school but there are incidents that occur such as the recent arrest of Mareno Smith who was a fourth grade teacher.

I really didn't like my experience! The school doesn't have good communication between school and parents.My daughter has ADHD, her teaching was horrible, and the feedback was never specific. And they decided to take action in the last week of school. I was surprised and disappointed.I once read that if your child's performance is average to excellent, Murdock is a great school, but if they're average to poor, it's terrible. And I experienced that firsthand.

Went I attended years ago, the teachers were rude and unwilling to hear out students prior to a confrontation turning sour. They wanted to avoid issues until after those small issues became mountains. Example: I remember trying to speak to my teacher about getting bullied into buying another student lunch extras and God awful teacher would say "this needs to wait until after lunch" like no this needs to be handled at the time of reporting and no teacher should be allowed to delay reporting.

I highly recommend this school. My family has had children at Addison Elementary School for almost ten years. The teachers are wonderful and the Administrative team, Jill Spiva and Michelle Gillham, are thoughtful leaders who continue to push the school forward with higher expectations of staff and students. You won't find a more friendly and professional front office staff!

My daughter has been going to this school since she was in Kindergarten we've never really had any issues up until fourth grade. She ended with the worse set of teachers, they bully the children an say hateful things to the students an piggyback off of each other. An when confronted they lie and act like nothing ever happened. These two ladies should consider retirement. I wouldn't say this is the worse school but if you can avoid this set of fourth grade teachers please do!!
