With approximately 1,100 students in grades 9-12, Turner High School competes in the Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) Class 5A and are known state-wide as the Turner Golden Bears.

This school has been such a disappointment. There is a teacher there who bullies the students, and…read moredespite multiple attempts by students and parents to advocate to the teacher, the principal, board members, etc. - they double down and say that they approve of his teaching. This is so extreme that many students have had private testing to note their skill level as above average or even gifted, but the teacher tells the students to their faces that they aren't smart, can't read books, insults their disabilities, reminds them of every mistake they have ever made in his class and does so with insults and stern. He is harsh in his presentation and grading, and only teaches rote memorization without critical thinking or interest in the ideas of his students. It has made many kids hate going to school, and many are leaving the school at the end of the year, but regardless the principal would rather stay the course and actually try to punish students who speak out. What you are told by the admissions is not what is actually true of the school. There are very limited options for learning outside their standard curriculum, much of which is quite remedial and with the assumption that your kid will not go to a good college. I've seen multiple students have soul crushing experiences. They have been without a school counselor for almost 4 months despite that many of their students are in major mental health crises. I have even seen them call the parents of a student that they know is in an abusive home to complain about speaking up for themselves to abuse from this teacher. It's so heartless and dangerous. Multiple students are showing signs of anxiety from things happening with this teacher and the principal. They will make no adjustments at the school to address these issues, even if the students have written diagnoses. There are major issues regarding racial/ethnic/religious equity and inclusion. The school isn't ADA compliant despite having a student that needs an elevator - it has been broken all year. They refuse to have parent meetings including conferences have a zoom/phone option despite having a parent that requires that for participation. I have seen almost no hands on learning in any class. I think that this school has probably changed and likely used to be better than it is now. I've never seen a school think so poorly of it's own students and be so eager to push out anyone who needs anything. There's also a lot of mismanagement. There are a few teachers who are real gems, but go elsewhere if you can unless they have some major staffing changes.

This place is very special, and my daughter has thrived in the small, customized environment. Kids are encouraged be themselves, and the only cookie cutter I see is they're all different. Check this place out especially if your child marches to their own beat. Art, theater and music programs are standouts (shocking, I know, based on the first five sentences of this review). Here's a picture from a middle school science field trip, though.

Our family had a horrible experience at SP in the 3yo Class. Our child who has been to several…read moreother day programs in the city and has had great experiences did not do so well at SP. She started coming home complaining about boys hitting her. Shortly after, my wife was called in to speak to the school leaders about their concerns with our child's behavior. When politely asked how they were handling the situation, the teachers and the leaders at SP could not communicate any form of appropriate plan or strategy to help improve their concerns or our concerns. We then decided to remover her from the program and move her to another day program that she had been to previously. The most shocking part of this story came when we learned that SP somehow found out where we were moving our child and proceeded to call the school to tell them to watch out for us and our child. We have never bad mouthed SP. All we wanted to do was chalk it up to a bad fit and move on with our lives, but now that SP has taken the time and effort to call other programs/schools in the city to talk negatively about our family feel compelled to write this review to bring awareness to what I feel is unethical actions and behaviors. Needless to say, I highly recommend you move in a different direction when it comes to choosing a program for your child. This is my first and hopefully my last negative review I will post on social media.
