Edward R. Murrow High School

New York · 32 alumni prominent enough for Wikipedia. Tables below need at least 3 people before a trait can appear.

All of history equally The last decade or two Recent decades The last half-century

The era pills change the weighting: "recent decades" (the default) counts someone who graduated around 2010 far more than someone from 1940.

Notes for the methodologically curious. Shares and multiples use recency weighting (people who came of age recently count more, per the era pills) and shrinkage: each school gets 20 virtual alumni at national rates, so a school with 4 noted alumni can't post a 200× multiple. High-school data on Wikidata is far sparser than college data — a missing trait usually means Wikipedia editors didn't record it, not that no alumnus has it.
