Summary

Turlock High is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 to approximately 2,500 students in the Turlock Unified school district, consistently earning a solid 3-star rating in recent years.

The school demonstrates a clear strength in English Language Arts, where its proficiency rate exceeds both the district and state averages and outperforms nearby schools like Hughson High and John H. Pitman High. However, it faces a significant challenge in mathematics, with proficiency below state averages, a pattern common across several local high schools. A major standout is Turlock High's exceptional graduation rate, which has remained above 94% for years, far surpassing the state average and indicating strong success in helping students complete their diplomas.

When compared to other schools, Turlock High's performance is very similar to its district sibling, Pitman High, but it shows much stronger outcomes than local continuation schools like Roselawn High in areas like graduation and attendance. The school spends more per student than some neighboring districts but achieves comparable academic results. Areas for growth include reducing chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state average, and ensuring more consistent support for all student subgroups, as performance can vary significantly from year to year for certain groups.
