“So excited about the new principal at this school this year and that Murchison is on it's way to being an exemplary school! Love the idea that they are having a teacher from each grade stay in the lunch room, so it has become a more controlled environment yet still enjoyable for kids to visit. I wish also that the office ladies were more friendly and not have to 'fake' it so much. Also like the steps they are taking to ensure the safety of the kids with food allergies. Thumbs up!”

“This has been our first school year at Murchison. Our child attends the PPCD/Pegasus program. We have seen how our child has grown and developed over the course of the school year. We have been very impressed with the caring and dedication of the program's teachers and staff.”

“I have two children currently attending Murchison. I have been very pleased with my children's education. Their teachers go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that my kids are learning and loving school. I am also very happy with my kids' experiences in art, music, and PE. These teachers are dedicated to their jobs and the children.”

“I have been very disappointed in not only the teacher but what she is teaching. My child is in kindergarten and brings home shapes that she has colored during the day. My 2 year old does this right now. They are only counting to 10. What is going on? I thought this was a recognized school. I consider this daycare, not school. I will be sending my child to private school next year.”

“Love the School. The teachers are all different and we must understand they're not alike just like our kids. But, the office ladies need some love. They are rude, and look miserable in the job they are doing, my advice find a new job you're unhappy and everyone can see it.”

“This school should be the poster child of how the American public school system is failing our children. Have two children in different grades and we are sorely disappointed in the performance of the teachers. The teachers are unenthusiastic and do not inspire the children. When complaints are made to the administrators concerning the teachers, they back the teachers and we are made to feel our concerns are not valid. Will be taking my children out of this school next year.”

“Murchison has very little parental involvment. Also, as a Christian Family, we were used to higher Christian values...This is lacking in this school. The whole system seems harsh and is on it's own tangent...teachers seem to be more worried about themselves than the children. They need more after school activities for the children to get involved in. Very unhappy with them...wish we could have stayed in the RR school district!”

“This is our second year at Murchison and we are plaesed. We came from another 'Recoginized' school in another district and they are comparable. The teachers/staff have been very kind and helpful to our children. Parent involvement is lower than what we've previously seen at our other school.”

“My child attended Murchison for Kindergarten and loved it! His teacher was excellent and they very warmly welcomed parent volunteering. All the staff was very helpful and their extracurricular activities were superb. My son learned a great deal in the computer lab and loved art, music and PE. It was a wonderful kindergarten experience for both of us! Unfortunatly we moved to Arizona and now my son is attending 1st grade Phoenix. There is a definite difference in the way the schools are run and the academic program. We would love to get him back to the Pflugerville ISD.”

“I ended up pulling my child out of Murchison to homeschool, it was such a frustrating ordeal to attempt to work with the school. The teachers seem to be unduly harsh on the students, with no correction from the administration. The children have very little stress outlets as they have limited time or space to let off energy.”
