HEALY-MURPHY

HEALY-MURPHY is a Title I public high school that is part of the SAN ANTONIO ISD school district, located in SAN ANTONIO, TX with about 135 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, HEALY-MURPHY has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

HEALY-MURPHY is a specialized, private non-profit school located in San Antonio, Texas, dedicated to serving students who have faced significant obstacles in traditional educational settings. Often serving as a "school of last resort" for those who are credit-deficient, pregnant or parenting teens, or those who struggle with the structure of large public high schools, the institution focuses on providing a safe, supportive, and flexible environment. By offering smaller class sizes and individualized attention, the school aims to help students overcome personal and academic barriers to reach high school graduation.

Beyond its academic curriculum, HEALY-MURPHY is deeply committed to the holistic well-being of its students through a variety of support services. The school famously operates an on-site childcare center, allowing young parents to continue their education while their children are cared for nearby. Additionally, the school emphasizes social-emotional learning, life skills, and a sense of community, ensuring that students not only earn their diplomas but also gain the confidence and resources necessary to transition into adulthood, higher education, or the workforce.
