Summary

Turner Elementary is a K–6 school serving 585 students in Fresno, within Fresno Unified. Its clearest strength is English Language Arts (ELA), but results in all three tested subjects trail state and district levels. The most important concern is that math and science are also among Turner’s weakest results compared with nearby schools.

ELA is Turner’s strongest subject relative to the state, district, and nearby schools: 37% of students were proficient, compared with 49% statewide, 40% in the district, and a 38% nearby-school average; Turner ranked 7th of 11 nearby schools. Math and science are weaker. Math proficiency was 23%, versus 38% statewide, 29% in the district, and a 32% nearby average. Science was 14%, compared with 36% statewide, 24% in the district, and a 19% nearby average. Turner ranked 9th of 11 in both subjects. Science had the largest gap from the state and district, while math was furthest below the nearby-school average.

Results have improved unevenly: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 14 percentage points and science rose 3, while math fell 1 point overall, despite recovering from its 2024–2025 low. Chronic absenteeism also declined substantially, from 54% in 2021–2022 to 29% in 2025–2026, but remained above the state’s 18% and district’s 27%. SchoolDigger ranked Turner at the 27th percentile statewide with 1 star in 2025–2026; the district was at the 34th percentile with 2 stars. In 2024–2025, Turner’s student–teacher ratio was 21.1, and 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for special education students was notably lower: the 2nd percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 21st percentile the prior year, compared with Turner’s overall 27th percentile in 2025–2026.
