There are many fights at this school and its very crowded once you get to 7th and 8th grade. It can also get a bit dangerous when going to your next class since there are some kids occasionally you play around and accidentally bump and push others which can hurt kids who just want to go to class and be left alone. The schools rules are a bit much like for example in the cafeteria.Some students also make fun if what I wear and I see others makes fun of students about the type if phone they have and what they look like which I find horrible and can cause students ti have a low self-esteem and 4uin their day. Even though these things happen I just have to ignore them and focus on my work.Teachers way of teaching are pretty good and I've learned many thing at school for my future education. I do want to day though is that most administration don't really help much with students mental health since students feel scared or don't need to since they probably won't do anything to help. I've only met 2 adults(besides teachers because most are good) that I felt the most comfortable than the other administration. All in all though I think its a decent school for your kid to go to and I do have some fun and memorable moments here too.I would like it if the administration or the office change some if their rules to make them better suited for kids like me who want some space,even just a little, so I can just focus on my work and be done and go home.

10/10. I worked as a substitute instructor at this school and I would return again. Administration and staff were wonderful. They were very supportive and you can tell they really care about their students.

Good teachers but awful guidance department. I tried for 2 years to work with them as far as attendance for my 13 year old goes-I had all excused absences for my daughter from dentist and pediatrician and Brandon emergency room and I was still given a hard time . I finally decided to homeschool and it is working out well. I hope other parents have a better experience with turkey creek middle.
