Mary T. Murphy School

JHS is a great community and the staff is second to none! The children of North Branford are very lucky to have such a great educational foundation to build upon.

Our family loves the school. The teachers have been great with our children. We are so glad that we decided to move when the kids were younger to get them into this school system.

I have been a parent at JBS for over a decade and I’m very happy to see the progress made at the school over the past few years. Two of my children have gone on to be High Honor Students at their HS thanks to the solid foundation they were given at JBS school. The teachers there are professional and results driven, they strive to get the best out of all students. The school administration is dedicated to both students and parents collaborating in all aspects to create an enriched community. All of my children have made life long friends at SLINEY.

My son Jr. is currently in kindergarten at Deer Run Elementary, and we have had such a positive experience this year! He was not in prek, so I was a bit worried. His teacher, Mrs. Ragaini, has been absolutely wonderful. She is patient, kind, and truly attentive to her students individual needs. We appreciate her so very much.Since starting school, I’ve seen so much growth in my son!! Not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. He feels safe, supported, and excited to go to school each day, which means everything to me as a parent.Mrs. Ragaini communicates clearly and makes herself available when parents have questions or concerns. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She has an amazing routine! We are very grateful for the nurturing and structured environment at Deer Run Elementary. It has been a great start to my son’s educational journey!
