Very bad teaching. Office staff very rude to me. No guidance counseling at all. School should be shut down!!! Close Quote

The staff at Turner Elementary does not take complaints about bullying serious and will blame those that are bullied. The quality of education is definitely not what I expect out of any school anywhere in the United States. The faculty of this school think they are better than anyone else. This school needs an entire restructuring of it's faculty to increase the quality of education and the school rating. Close Quote
