My children are the third generation attending KT Murphy School. It is what a neighborhood school should be. KTM is like a second family. The staff is amazing! My child had some learing challenges and they were addressed immediately. Wouldn't want my children in any other school to start of the foundation of their building block of education.
A fair warning to parents... this is a very 'tough' school. My daughter, who never had social problems of any kind before or since, spent one very long year at KT Murphy where she had problems with the other children on an almost daily basis. Virtually nothing effective was done to address the problems despite repeated attempts. Unprofessionalism abounds, from leadership to teachers, and most of all in the after care program. The problems were so extreme that I requested, and was granted, a transfer for her to another Stamford school where she has thrived. We recently had to move out of state and into another school where she also has no social problems whatsoever, nor did she at her school previous to KT Murphy. Yet, she came home in tears almost daily from KT Murphy. Enough said.
The numbers don't give justice to this school. My gifted child enjoys the diversity and community feel of his school. The teachers and administration really care.
In a word Brilliant, this school is everything I had hoped for for my first child, and am pleased to have my second son attend. I think the programs are outstanding, the Teachers are what make this school tick, they are the heart and soul of this school. The Teachers offer support to parents and students alike. The music program offers children a chance to learn and grow and has the greatest program teacher. (again I can not say enough about the teachers). It is my pleasure to say the parent involvement is the highest I have ever seen in all my years of attending teacher/parent meetings.
