Summary

Turman Elementary School is a public elementary school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving 207 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Harrison School District No. 2, which is ranked 86 out of 115 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Turman Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well below-average test scores in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. When compared to nearby schools in the district, such as Soaring Eagles Community School and James Irwin Elementary School - Astrozon, Turman's academic performance is significantly lower, with higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores.

The school's performance has also declined over time, dropping from a statewide ranking of 435 out of 917 Colorado elementary schools in 2017-2018 to a rank of 719 out of 950 in 2024-2025. This concerning trend suggests that targeted interventions and support are needed to address the challenges faced by Turman Elementary School and the community it serves.
