Summary

Turner Elementary is a public elementary school located in Antioch, California, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 437 students. The school is part of the Antioch Unified School District, which is ranked 1379 out of 1565 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Turner Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 5142 and 5715 out of around 5,800 schools over the past decade. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 25.64% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, 15.66% in mathematics, and 7.35% in science. Turner Elementary also has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.4% to 36.6% over the past few years, and a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 73.68% to 84.38% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, the nearby Antioch Charter Academy and Antioch Charter Academy II consistently outperform Turner Elementary and the other district schools on academic measures, despite serving a similar demographic of students. Additionally, Turner Elementary's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective subgroups statewide. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Turner Elementary, the school's academic outcomes remain significantly below the state and district averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's performance.
