School Reviews
5 4/23/2008
Turner is one of the finest schools I have seen or in which I have worked. I am currently there as an interim counselor and have found Turner to be a place where all students and parents find acceptance and feel valued. Students are not always without problems at Turner, but the problems are not avoided. The faculty/staff stand ready to deal with the issues as presented. Kindness is always used in dealing with the entire school environment.
