Great school UNLESS your student is special needs, then they target them and treat them like garbage. Its shameful, they hide behind their academic stuff while their special needs students suffer! If you aren't into sports or have a special needs student DON'T enroll in this school, your child will suffer!

I have two daughters and one son and while one child had a great time at Turlock High my other two had a very different experience at Pitman. Most of the teachers are great or at least adequate the same cannot be said for the administators. The office staff tend to treat the kids like unruly cattle and disputes are completely disregarded rather that being dealt with in a thoughtful manner. There seems to be a frightening lack of interest in student well being. I would encourage parents to think long and hard before sending them here.

Pitman High School is the Pride of Turlock. Why go to Turlock High? Isn't Turlock High on probation for poor student academic performance? Pitman has classy people there. Their teachers and administration are by far more caring and supportive of their students. They don't put on a show, they are the real dal.
My son went to this school for all of his high school years, due to medical reasons he was home schooled for the later part of his senior year. He loved the school however as a parent who had daughters that went to Turlock High I can tell you that the counselors at Pitman do not seem to be very helpful. My daughters counselors at Turlock High were very helpful as to what they needed to not only graduate, but what they needed to get in to the colleges they were seeking. My son definitly did not get that same support at Pitman. In my opinion if you are looking for that extra support for your child to go to college and you want help with motivating your child Turlock High is the better choice.

—Submitted by Dave Beasley, a parent
This is a brand new school about 4 years old. It has the most advanced technology in each classroom. It is also culturally diverse. Teachers are team-oriented and caring. Most of the teachers are young. The art programs is great and in sports this school has several triumphs. Parent are well involved with their children education since they email teachers constantly to keep report of the student academics. It is a school in a town of 60,000. There is another school as well but it is the older high school. This school is so far the best in town. It is a an extremely safe school. I wouldn't change this school for any other.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

In 2011-2012 California used the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
