Summary:

Turlock Unified includes 14 schools—nine elementary, two middle and three high schools—and results vary widely from school to school. In 2025–26, the equally weighted average across schools was 39% in English language arts (ELA), 27% in math and 23% in science, compared with statewide rates of 49%, 38% and 36%. Only three schools exceeded the state rate in ELA, two in math and one in science. The most important takeaway is that most schools were below state averages, but a few schools—and especially one—stood out.

Walnut Elementary Education Center led in every subject, with 66% in ELA, 64% in math and 46% in science—17, 26 and 10 percentage points above state rates. Its scores were also 29 to 40 points above the average of the other 13 schools in ELA and math, and 25 points higher in science. At the other end, Cunningham Elementary had the lowest ELA result, 15%, while Roselawn High had the lowest math and science results, 2% and 1%. Roselawn’s math and science rates were 36 and 35 points below state rates. These contrasts show why families should compare individual schools, not assume results are the same across the district.

Average results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by 2 percentage points in ELA, 1 point in math and 1 point in science; the gap to the state narrowed in ELA but widened in science. Julien Elementary improved in all three subjects, including 10 points in ELA and 9 in math, and was above state rates in ELA and math. SchoolDigger statewide ranking percentiles rose for Osborn Two-Way Immersion Academy (20 to 35) and Julien (50 to 63), while Cunningham fell from 11 to 3. The school-level measure was free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–25: it ranged from 40% at Walnut to 79% at Cunningham. Similar shares did not mean similar results: Julien’s share was 57%, compared with 59% at Sandra Tovar Medeiros Elementary, yet Julien scored higher across all three subjects.
