Coming from an amazing elementary school (Farmers Branch Elementary) to a non-caring school has been a challenge for us this year. I would highly recommend to look elsewhere. Don’t get me wrong, great teachers! But as for their front office to the principal, horrible system going. Stay away and if you choose to attend, watch your children attendance and also their occurrences on ID badges as kids here have been forging other kiddos student ID numbers…

RL Turner High School is a great school considering all of its financial challenges with some great teachers and programs like Biomed and AMAT that help you prepare for the future. Most of the students are very nice as well. The cafeteria food isn’t really that great and there was a fentanyl crisis recently there. There are also some terrible teachers which unfortunately lowers my rating. You should go to Turner if you want to get into the medical or film industries.

Not a good experience with this school at all. Aside from the fact that the school is not very diverse, they don’t have the experience, teacher tenure, nor accessibility to programs experienced teachers to help the students accelerate. Instead of offering support, intervention and effective tools to students with trouble learning, (which if you look at the data is more than half of the school and they fall below state level on most, if not all categories) they offer a patternless, inefficient “small group” within the same classroom as the teachers that have been ineffective. When that doesn’t work the response is typically “they child isn’t responding to our EXCELLENT interventions so there MUST be some sort learning disability can we test your child”?Instead of recognizing the fact that the entire school is falling behind in several different areas and that major adjustments need to be made with staffing and resources, they would rather leave the students behind which leads to low test scores, low progression and retention. Until the person(s) in charge advocate for the children and give them the resources and support they need to make improvements, this school and MOST IMPORTANTLY the students will continue to fall behind. Get your child out before it’s too late.
