Turrell Elementary School is a Reading First School. All parents should go and visit this school to see how the teachers are working with the students. Students are provided interventions to help increase their liklihood of success. Every student in the school is treated with respect regardless of any outside factors. The principal, Ms Sylvia Moore, is dedicated to her job. She is a professional in every manner of the word. Turrell Elementary is a great place to learn. I am proud that my children attend school there.
