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.

I love this school because this is the pace that raised me and made me a Bulldog for life. I will never forget the countless times of me fighting for this school in sports or whatever the case might be. My academics were the best because of this school and the community it gave me is what made me today.

The best part of Turlock High School is Mr. Tribble. He is the most understanding and caring staff member on campus.

My son Devin attends THS and my oldest son Adrian graduated in 2008. Turlock High School has a history with our family; my mother and all her siblings attended school there. When we moved from the Bay Area to the Valley I never dreamed my kids would be in the same school that I had grown up hearing...
