About Us
Welcome to the Turner Sixth Grade Academy. The Turner Sixth Grade Academy is home to all sixth grade students that attend Turner USD 202. We are extremely proud of our students and enjoy celebrating their achievements in their journey of becoming a lifelong-learner. We want our students to be positive thinkers and leaders of tomorrow. Our staff believes that children learn best when provided with a systematic approach to ensure we are meeting their unique individual needs, whether that is social, emotional, behavioral, or academic.
