Turner Creek is such a great school. The students are taught at their own pace as much as I've seen at a private school. My second grade student is given many challenging activities that do not involve a set of work sheets to simply keep her busy. Whan my son had this same teacher, he was given all

Turner Creek has not lived up to the hype!! The school was supposed to be the absolute best thanks to the principal and team of teacher's she's hired. Our child's teacher should have been fired years ago for sheer laziness! She doesn't want to grade papers so she doesn't give homework, and 98% of

We have had some problems with Turner Creek. The school is fairly new and the principal was transferred to the school from another. We largely wanted our kids to attend this school because of the principal. However, what we later learned is that the school really does not want too much parental involvement.

The principal said there was an 'open door policy,' but when it came down to us exercising that policy, it suddenly changed. Academically, our kids have suffered basically because of the soft curriculum of North Carolina. Read less
