'''Edward R. Murrow High School''' is located in |
'''Edward R. Murrow High School''' is located in [[Midwood, Brooklyn]], [[New York City|New York]], and is operated by the [[New York City Department of Education]]. The school is dedicated to the [[arts]], and students can audition for programs in music, fine and visual arts, or theater. The school was established in 1974 by Saul Bruckner, who also served as its first principal, and was named after the renowned broadcast journalist [[Edward R. Murrow]]. The school was founded based on the [[pedagogy|pedagogical]] theories of [[John Dewey]] and the learning and teaching methods of [[John Dewey High School]]. |
||
After Bruckner's retirement in 2004, Anthony Lodico became Murrow's second principal. In March 2012, Lodico announced his resignation, and Allen Barge took over as principal the following month. |

Murrow's academic year is divided into two semesters. Students receive new class schedules and teachers at the end of January. The daily schedule shifts depending on the day of the week, with class lengths varying from 45 minutes to an hour, and each class meets only four times a week. Rather than having a lunch period or study halls, Murrow students have free periods called "OPTA's" (Optional Time Activities), used for studying, eating, or relaxing.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} |

||
In response to concerns over overcrowding and student behavior during free periods, the school administration made the decision to eliminate Optional Time Activities (OPTAs) during the 2022-2023 academic year. To mitigate this change, students are now required to have a pass in order to visit the library, and are restricted to eating lunch only in their designated cafeteria. The 285 suite, which was previously available to students with an OPTA, has been repurposed as an additional cafeteria to accommodate the students.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://themurrownetwork.wordpress.com/2022/10/20/murrowites-reflect-on-schoolwide-changes/#:~:text=Students%20have%20also%20had%20to%20adjust%20to%20new,don%E2%80%99t%20loiter%20in%20the%20hallways%20during%20their%20breaks. | title=Murrowites Reflect on Schoolwide Changes | date=20 October 2022 }}</ref> |

During the 2022-2023 school year, the school implemented significant changes to its schedule. In contrast to the previous model, where students met with each class four times a week, the updated schedule now requires students to attend each class five times per week. Additionally, the schedule has shifted to a more standardized system, with each period is now at a set, specific time rather than varying times throughout the week. On Friday, the schedule is shorter.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://themurrownetwork.wordpress.com/2022/11/30/teachers-adjust-to-the-new-band-aid-when-planning-lessons/ | title=Teachers Adjust to the New Band-Aid when Planning Lessons | date=30 November 2022 }}</ref> |

* NYC High School adjusted its grade policies in 2013 so that a "U" is used instead of an "N". The letter grading system, with each letter corresponding to a numerical measurement, e.g. E = 90-100, G = 80–89, S = 79–65, U = 65 - 55, NS = below 55 (No Show = student who never reported to class), and MI for Mastery in Independent Study. |

* In calculating the average, E is treated as a 95, G = 85, S = 75, and U = 55. This means that for getting the highest grade in all classes, a student will not achieve an average higher than 95. In college admissions applications, an explanatory letter is forwarded to colleges to explain this fact. |

**In the spring semester of the 2022-2023 academic year, the school implemented a major change to its grading policy. Under the direction of the School Leadership Team, the traditional letter grading system was replaced by a numerical grading system. The new system assigns grades in increments of one, ranging from 65 to 100, with a grade of 55 representing a failing mark.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.ermurrowhs.org/apps/news/article/1708225 | title=Friendly Reminders / Updates from Mr. Barge 1/12/2023 }}</ref> |

* Instead of using numbers to represent class periods, Murrow uses letters from A-J, excluding I. The periods are called "bands" (e.g., A-Band, D-Band). Some students take classes that meet before A-Band and after J-Band. These bands are "0 (zero)-Band" and "K-Band" |

* There are no daily "home room" meetings. Entering students are assigned to a "Student Communication Section", or SCS, and remain in that SCS until graduation. The SCS meets only on an "as needed" basis and is used solely for dissemination of school-wide administrative/logistical information (e.g., distribution of report cards or new class schedules; election of class officers); 2 morning bands are cut short to allow time for SCS to convene. For mandated citywide testing, students usually attend a half-day of classes, followed by the test in the SCS. |

* While many state-mandated courses (e.g., science- and math-based courses) are geared toward students of a particular class year, other elective courses (e.g., performing arts, physical education electives) are not; students taking these electives will usually find themselves in classes with students from other class years. |

In attempt to diversify schools, some high schools in NYC, including Murrow, use the DOE's "Educational Option" model. Instead of tracking, schools admit learners of all capabilities by purposefully accepting a set percentage of students with high, middle and low test scores.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/lander-torres-breaking-cycle-school-segregation-article-1.2326463|title=How NYC can break the cycle of school segregation|last=Torres|first=Brad Lander, Ritchie|website=New York Daily News|access-date=2019-11-25}}</ref> |

Edward R. Murrow High School is located in Midwood, Brooklyn, New York, and is operated by the New York City Department of Education. The school is dedicated to the arts, and students can audition for programs in music, fine and visual arts, or theater. The school was established in 1974 by Saul Bruckner, who also served as its first principal, and was named after the renowned broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow. The school was founded based on the pedagogical theories of John Dewey and the learning and teaching methods of John Dewey High School.
After Bruckner's retirement in 2004, Anthony Lodico became Murrow's second principal. In March 2012, Lodico announced his resignation, and Allen Barge took over as principal the following month.
Academics[edit]
Murrow's academic year is divided into two semesters. Students receive new class schedules and teachers at the end of January. The daily schedule shifts depending on the day of the week, with class lengths varying from 45 minutes to an hour, and each class meets only four times a week. Rather than having a lunch period or study halls, Murrow students have free periods called "OPTA's" (Optional Time Activities), used for studying, eating, or relaxing.[citation needed]
In response to concerns over overcrowding and student behavior during free periods, the school administration made the decision to eliminate Optional Time Activities (OPTAs) during the 2022-2023 academic year. To mitigate this change, students are now required to have a pass in order to visit the library, and are restricted to eating lunch only in their designated cafeteria. The 285 suite, which was previously available to students with an OPTA, has been repurposed as an additional cafeteria to accommodate the students.[1]
During the 2022-2023 school year, the school implemented significant changes to its schedule. In contrast to the previous model, where students met with each class four times a week, the updated schedule now requires students to attend each class five times per week. Additionally, the schedule has shifted to a more standardized system, with each period is now at a set, specific time rather than varying times throughout the week. On Friday, the schedule is shorter.[2]
Murrow has a number of features including:
- NYC High School adjusted its grade policies in 2013 so that a "U" is used instead of an "N". The letter grading system, with each letter corresponding to a numerical measurement, e.g. E = 90-100, G = 80–89, S = 79–65, U = 65 - 55, NS = below 55 (No Show = student who never reported to class), and MI for Mastery in Independent Study.
- In calculating the average, E is treated as a 95, G = 85, S = 75, and U = 55. This means that for getting the highest grade in all classes, a student will not achieve an average higher than 95. In college admissions applications, an explanatory letter is forwarded to colleges to explain this fact.
- In the spring semester of the 2022-2023 academic year, the school implemented a major change to its grading policy. Under the direction of the School Leadership Team, the traditional letter grading system was replaced by a numerical grading system. The new system assigns grades in increments of one, ranging from 65 to 100, with a grade of 55 representing a failing mark.[3]
- Instead of using numbers to represent class periods, Murrow uses letters from A-J, excluding I. The periods are called "bands" (e.g., A-Band, D-Band). Some students take classes that meet before A-Band and after J-Band. These bands are "0 (zero)-Band" and "K-Band"
- There are no daily "home room" meetings. Entering students are assigned to a "Student Communication Section", or SCS, and remain in that SCS until graduation. The SCS meets only on an "as needed" basis and is used solely for dissemination of school-wide administrative/logistical information (e.g., distribution of report cards or new class schedules; election of class officers); 2 morning bands are cut short to allow time for SCS to convene. For mandated citywide testing, students usually attend a half-day of classes, followed by the test in the SCS.
- Following the return to full in-person schooling after the COVID-19 pandemic, the school decided to eliminate SCS meetings. Instead, important documents and information are now distributed during B-Band.
- While many state-mandated courses (e.g., science- and math-based courses) are geared toward students of a particular class year, other elective courses (e.g., performing arts, physical education electives) are not; students taking these electives will usually find themselves in classes with students from other class years.
Edward R. Murrow High School is also known for its outstanding theater program. Their success in the arts was recognized by Mel Brooks, who granted the school to be the first-ever to gain rights to the smash hit musical "The Producers" in Spring 2008.[citation needed]
In attempt to diversify schools, some high schools in NYC, including Murrow, use the DOE's "Educational Option" model. Instead of tracking, schools admit learners of all capabilities by purposefully accepting a set percentage of students with high, middle and low test scores.[4]
Student demographics[edit]
The 2021-2022 academic year saw a student enrollment of approximately 3,500+ students at the school. The ethnic makeup of the student body was diverse, with 30% identifying as White, 26% as Asian, 20% as Hispanic or Latinx, 18% as African American, and less than 1% as Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. Out of the reported 3,663 students, 9% were identified as English language learners. Additionally, 18% of students had Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).The student-teacher ratio was reported as 15:1.[5]
Audition programs[edit]

The Edward R. Murrow High School Studio Theater Program offers courses in various aspects of theater, including Acting, Directing, Set Design, and more. Additionally, the program offers partnerships with renowned theater organizations such as the Manhattan Theater Club and Roundabout Theater, providing students with opportunities to connect with industry professionals and explore the world of theater.[6]
Students can participate in a variety of opportunities, including musicals and plays, theater workshops, and competitions such as the August Wilson Monologue Competition and the Shakespeare Competition. Additionally, the program offers an improv troupe and internships with technical theater shops to give students hands-on experience in the field.
Mel Brooks granted the school the rights to perform the musical The Producers in the spring of 2008, making it the first-ever school to do so.[citation needed]
Music[edit]
The school's music department offers a variety of performance courses for students, including opportunities to learn to play guitar, piano, percussion, a band or orchestral instrument, or sing in a chorus. Students can participate in these courses without any prerequisite or audition, but placement auditions are required to join one of the school's performance ensembles.[7]
For students interested in pursuing music beyond the minimum graduation requirement, a sequence of study is available in the guitar, piano, orchestral, choral, or band program. Specialized classes in vocal or instrumental technique and music theory are also available with permission from a music teacher.
The Music Institute is an auditioned program for students committed to developing their musical skills, who will fulfill the requirements for a Chancellor’s Endorsed Arts diploma.
The school also offers non-performance classes, such as Music History.
In addition, Murrow's Music Technology CTE Program provides courses in music technology, including Recording Techniques & MIDI and Studio Practicum. During the 2015-2016 school year, the school launched the Music x Technology program with the help of Alicia Keys and Levi's Jeans. The program provides students with access to a recording studio and production equipment, allowing them to study sound engineering, audio-visual production, post-production, mastering, songwriting, and more. The department also hosts an annual Music x Tech Fest where students and alumni showcase their original songs and music videos to raise money for charity.[8]
