I think that Turtle lake could improve on many things from discipline to teachers. They could add more opportunities of classes and work more with students on classes. There school overall is pretty dirty and the supplies aren't taken care of. The administration doesn't really like change and isn't that willing to work with people. The food is amazing and has a great variety although is sometimes short.

The school has improved so much in the past few years, we are happy with the small community and huge opportunities for our kids, the teachers here care, and the administration is both skilled and understanding, willing to work with you and take in ideas. Great school!

Not a easy school to fit into, not trying to be mean but one should be aware the school lacks acceptence of diversity. needs events that brings the kids together to learn acceptence rather than sticking with their own kind. The only school that wanted my child on a IEP out of 3 states testings.
