Summary

John H. Pitman High serves 1,986 students in grades 9–12 in Turlock, in the Turlock Unified district. Its graduation rate is a strength: in 2025–2026, 97% of students graduated, 9 percentage points above California and 2 points above the district. But the most important academic concern is math, where 24% of students were proficient—14 points below the state.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject compared with both the state and district: 57% were proficient, 8 points above California and 15 points above the district. Science proficiency was 29%, 7 points below the state but 3 points above the district. Among eight nearby schools with reported all-grade results, Pitman ranked fourth in ELA, second in math and third in science. So its math result is low compared with California overall, but it is not among the lowest locally.

Over time, ELA proficiency rose 11 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while math increased 5 points and remained 14 points below the state. Science rose just 1 point, and its gap behind the state widened by 4 points. SchoolDigger places Pitman at the 56th percentile statewide, with 3 stars; its standing is around the middle of nearby ranked schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Multi-racial Students is much lower, at the 9th percentile compared with the schoolwide 56th, down from the 47th percentile in 2023–2024. Its ranking for Asian Students is at the 21st percentile. For context, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 22.1, close to the nearby-school average of 22.0, and 66% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible.
