Murphy Middle

Murphy Middle sits in one of Collin County's fastest-growing corners, where newer subdivisions and a tight-knit suburban feel attract families who want top-tier academics without the congestion of closer-in Dallas suburbs. Scoring in the 95th percentile statewide, it's a genuinely strong school across the board — English, math, and science all land at or near that same level, which is rare and worth noting. Families drawn to Plano ISD's reputation who land in Murphy get the best of both worlds: a quieter, newer community with schools that can hold their own against anything in the Metroplex.
