Turner High School

The teachers refuse bathroom breaks to the students. There is very little time between classes and often they walk from 1 end of the school to the other. If a girl needs a eat room break to attend to a need of nature so to speak she is expected to announce it to her teacher so the entire class hears it. This however does not mean the teacher will let them go to the restroom. One teacher told my daughter she thought it was funny when these spoiled high school girls suffer embarrassment. So many pregnant girls here because they send all of the girls that are pregnant from Newman smith here. One teacher teaches chemistry from YouTube. She is a history teacher but they have her teaching chemistry. She has told her students that she dosnt understand chemistry. last year all students 11th grade and below failed her class. The teachers are rude and a lot of the assignments are rediculious.

Turner is not only a school, but a home. It has provided me with the greatest education a gal like me can ask for. Not only were the teachers so loving and generous, but the student body was inspiring. They would roar in the stands at football games, and win or lose they would bleed blue. Being a lion was not something you are given, but something you earn. I genuinely miss walking down the hall ways and feeling the spirit of Turner in every corner. "... hail to Turner High!" the entire schools chants at pep-rallies where we would cheer on our school and all of our outstanding, award winning programs and sports. It was a blessing being a lion and being able to say I bled blue. I highly recommend Turner. It's gr8 yo.

If you are black and from another country, don't take your children to RL Turner. In other words if you are from Africa don't take your kids to this school. Kids from Africa are discriminated against and no one says a thing. Teachers, counsellors pretend nothing is happening. Racism is serious at this school. WARNING! this school will not accept credits from Africa! I was really shocked when one of my kids was placed in 9th grade despite being in 12th grade in Africa. When I complained, no one cared. I had to remove my children in a hurry coz they were severely depressed. My child's grades were later accepted in another school district and she has since graduated. And to make matters worse they don't have too many high schools in this school district so you don't have too many options. Do some research before moving to this area. We moved from Dallas to Addison thinking Addison fell under Richardson School District little did we know it was in CFBISD. Other black parents with kids who came from other countries are removing their kids too. By the way most African kids in America do better in school I don't see reason why credits from Africa can't be accepted.

I like Turner for my Child. He has made very good grades and has met lifetime good kids in the METSA Program which prepares a student for college like courses. A parent heps make a good student.
