GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It was a really good school even though it wasn't really that diverse, out of the whole school it was about 15 black kids out of all 1k students it was only 15 black student and the reast of everyone were hispanic. But I had great teachers that helped me with applying and getting into school.

Best parts of my experience is the students I made friends with along with the few teachers I got along with and taught me in a way I could understand and have fun at the same time.

All the clubs were nice, but some of the teachers need to retire because it seems like they don't like teaching. The math teachers are really nice though. And my overall experience can't be recorded because I experienced school through covid.

The teachers refuse bathroom breaks to the students. There is very little time between classes and often they walk from 1 end of the school to the other.

Turner is not only a school, but a home. It has provided me with the greatest education a gal like me can ask for. Not only were the teachers so loving and generous, but the student body was inspiring. They would roar in the stands at football games, and win or lose they would bleed blue. Being a li...
