W.J. Murphy Elementary School has consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (10.3%), Mathematics (6.9%), and Science (29.3%) compared to the district and state averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.8% and a high percentage of students (83.04%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending ($16,389) and low student-teacher ratio (13.9), it appears to be struggling to provide effective instruction and support for its students.
Overall, the data suggests that W.J. Murphy Elementary School is facing significant academic challenges and may not be optimizing its resources to drive student success. Further investigation into the root causes of these issues and the implementation of targeted strategies could be beneficial for improving the school's performance and supporting the educational needs of the community.
