After reading the rankings for this school, I was very skeptical about moving to the area and enrolling my daughter here. However, 2 yrs later I can say the experience has exceeded my expectations from day one registration to academics and district/school communication. The transfer process- coming from another city- was seamless. The counselors and registrars informed me of what items were needed and they handled the rest. Even making arrangements to register on a different day to accommodate our moving schedule. About 99% of the teachers respond to emails or inquiries within 24 hrs (and most of the time after hours). If you are a concerned or active parent, they will work with you accordingly. While the front office phone service could use some work, overall correspondence is excellent. There is a real sense of community at the school. The principal treats the students as individuals and actually shows concern in day to day interactions. My daughter's attitude changed from not wanting to go here to now not wanting to leave. Although, some high tech resources are lacking in comparison to other local districts and the district we transferred from, this school has made a potentially difficult transition to the high school world a whole lot smoother for my daughter and our family.

Absolutely horrible, Most of the 7th and 6th grade students disrupt the class room and not let any of the students learn, excessive bullying and violence, a fight almost every week, teachers play favorites, I keep going home stressed out of my mind, stupid cliques, the school staff does not do ANYTHING to help. They just send a child to ISS for a day if they do something wrong. They never really do anything, just watch it happen. I told a teacher about the racism I am experiencing because I'm Asian, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The school staff can't even control a singular classroom, not much less the cafeteria. Pretty much everybody at this school is either 1. A trouble maker 2. A girly girl 3. or an Alt girl / boy. Nothing else. Then none of the students do any of their work, so smarter and more gifted students get left behind. Then the teachers do ENDLESS REVIEWS. It is mostly in non-honors classes, but even the honors classes do this stuff. I do not recommend this district. Go find another school.

Turlington Elementary is awesome school. The principals and staff work very hard with their students to succeed. I saw how much progress my children made after a few months in attendance. Thanks for your hard work and dedication! 5 stars!
