Murray Comm School District

Located at 216 Sherman in Murray, Iowa, the Murray Community School District serves as an essential educational cornerstone for its surrounding rural community. Operating as an active, traditional public school district, it manages two school facilities that provide a seamless educational pathway for students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's distant rural setting fosters a close-knit, supportive environment where young learners can build strong foundational skills in their early years and progress into well-rounded high school graduates ready for higher education or the workforce.

For the 2024–2025 academic year, the district serves a focused student body of 310 enrolled children, comprising 161 boys and 149 girls across all grade levels. To deliver tailored instruction and comprehensive operational support, Murray Community School District employs a dedicated workforce of nearly 114 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. This team features approximately 52 FTE classroom teachers, 11 FTE instructional aides, and 51 FTE support staff personnel. This generous staffing capacity allows for remarkably low student-to-educator ratios, ensuring that researchers, parents, and students alike find a highly attentive and community-centered learning environment committed to academic success.
