  • Murray is okay, but it definitely feels like a typical CPS school where the building shows its age. I noticed they recently had to put in for new gym lights and some other facility fixes, which is good because some of the common areas have felt pretty dim and dusty. Health-wise, it’s a bit of a mixed bag; when something like flu or strep starts going around the classrooms, it spreads fast, and I don't always feel like the communication from the office is super proactive about it. The staff is nice, but they seem spread thin—it’s tough for them to give every kid individual attention if they’re feeling off. It’s a solid language school, but for health and wellness, you just have to stay on top of things yourself and keep your kid home at the first sign of a sniffle because the nurse isn't there every day.
