About the School
The Murphy is a large school with a diverse student population. We believe our lifelong learning begins at the Murphy and that all students can achieve at high levels. We embrace #murphymindset, which means that we adopt “Growth Mindset,” a belief system that we learn from our failures and we encourage productive struggle so that we can achieve our lifelong dreams and goals.
School Performance
Student performance data displayed below is from Next Generation MCAS results. For more data on schools, please visit the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) website. For schools with multiple campuses, the data below represents all schools in that network, not just the single school, unless otherwise noted. If data is not shown, it is not available for that school (e.g. the school might not serve any tested grades, or be too small to publicly release its scores).
IMPORTANT NOTE: DESE did not issue school, district, or state accountability determinations for the 2019-2020 school year due to the cancellation of state assessments and school closures related to COVID-19. As a result, there is no student performance data available from the state for school year 2019-2020.
