Where McMillan Elementary feeds

Elementary schools matter for the early years, but families usually want to see the whole path. Murray is a small, one high school district, so the progression is short:

• Elementary: McMillan Elementary, grades K to 6
• Junior high: Riverview or Hillcrest Junior High, grades 7 to 9, by address
• High: Murray High School, grades 10 to 12

Murray has discussed moving toward a middle school model, which would shift sixth grade up and ninth grade to the high school, so grade configurations could change.

Homes in the McMillan Elementary boundary

McMillan sits in an established part of Murray, so the housing stock skews older than the valley’s newer suburbs. Expect a mix of mid-century single-family homes, updated bungalows, and some newer infill, many on generous, mature lots. Because this is one of the district’s most sought after elementary boundaries, well kept homes here tend to draw steady interest.

Prices vary from block to block depending on updates, lot size, and proximity to Murray’s parks, TRAX, and the city center. Because the mix of active listings shifts month to month, we would rather pull a current, address-specific snapshot than quote a range that goes stale quickly.
