I realize this school is now in transition due to the renovations being done at the original school site. I felt there were several safety concerns at the temporary site of portable classrooms from lax security to dangerous bus issues. These need to be rectified immediately.

We are in 1st now, and have been very happy since pre-K. Our son has grown so much, and the teachers have really helped to develop his skills and challenge him to improve. Moving to the temporary site was a bit of a hiccup, but now everything seems to be settled down and not much of an issue.

5th grade math homework is for an average student. the math teacher says my daughter meets all DC math standards and she is the strongest in her class. homework she is given keeps her busy for 5 minutes only. she is bored in class. I had several discussions with her math teacher and asked for extra homework and engage her during the math activities at school. the teacher said she does not have any concerns over my daughter and she has other students to worry about. so if you are a parent who is looking for an individual approach for your son or daughter and if you are looking for a teacher who would adjust a level of assignments then you should keep your expectations low and try identify a tutor to keep your student motivated.

Murch is considered an above average school based on the caliber of it's students and their successful and highly engaged parents. Period. I've been an educator for over 20 years and I was shocked and very disappointed by, well, everyone and everything else...Parents beware.

Murch is amazing. My kid is having so much fun! There is one bad teacher out of a lot of staff but other than that Murch is amazing.

I used to go to Murch and hated everyday of school. I never wanted to go and I went there from Kindergarten to 5th grade and never liked. However, I learned well and was in a good place after Murch.

I love Murch so much because it cares about each student's education, very open and communicative with the parents, also has a vastly diverse school environment.
