Summary:
The Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg school district in Minnesota is home to one elementary school, Murdock Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 437 students. Murdock Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within its district and the state, consistently ranking in the top half of Minnesota elementary schools.
Murdock Elementary's academic performance on MCA-III assessments in math, reading, and science is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd-6th grade. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.6, which is lower than the state average and likely contributes to its academic success.

While Murdock Elementary has a majority white student population (79.63%), it also has a significant Hispanic student population (16.7%), providing valuable diversity and learning opportunities. The school's consistent performance and resource allocation, such as its low student-teacher ratio, suggest that the Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg district is effectively supporting student learning and achievement at Murdock Elementary.
