Turner

The Turner school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools - Turner Elementary School and Turner High School. While the elementary school has a relatively large enrollment of 227 students, the high school is smaller with only 78 students. Both schools serve diverse student populations, with a majority of White students and significant representation of Hispanic and Native American students.

The performance of the two schools varies, with Turner Elementary School having a low 1-star state-wide rating, while Turner High School has seen fluctuations, ranging from a 4-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 2-star rating in 2022-2023. The high school also has a significantly higher per-student spending of $12,850, compared to $8,968 at the elementary school, which may indicate an imbalance in resource allocation within the district.

Socioeconomic challenges are evident in both schools, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, reaching 75.77% at the elementary school and 62.82% at the high school. This suggests the district may be serving a population with significant financial constraints, which could impact student learning and achievement. The district may need to explore targeted interventions and support to address these challenges and ensure the success of all students in the Turner school system.
