My overall experience at Turner County High School has been great over the past years. The teachers are very helpful, caring, loving, and thoughtful. This school environment encourages me to keep going and lets me know that if I want to do anything, I can do it.

Not a good school system. If you can afford to send your kids anywhere else, please do so. The lunch is disgusting.

It's ok, but the school lacks certain activities and programs to appeal to multiple student interests. The students act out of line and the teachers let people pass by while others work hard for their grades. Sometimes the students voices are ignored and the teachers won't stick up for you when you are being bullied.

I knew then, as I do now, that my teachers did not care about me or most of the other students. The vast majority of the teachers there a...
