Summary

Turner Middle School is a grades 6–8 middle school in Berthoud, CO, serving 448 students as part of Thompson School District R-2j. For the 2025-2026 school year, Turner ranked 144th out of 469 Colorado middle schools — the 69th percentile, earning a 3-star rating. That's a slight dip from the previous year, when it ranked 118th (75th percentile, 4 stars). Over the past decade, Turner has consistently ranked between roughly 110th and 151st statewide, making it a stable, solid performer rather than an elite school, but one that stands out clearly in its immediate area.

Turner is the clear academic leader among its same-district neighbors in nearby Loveland. Its math proficiency (43.1%) is roughly 19–24 percentage points higher than Lucile Erwin Middle School, Walt Clark Middle School, and Bill Reed Middle School, and its ELA proficiency (50.4%) is 9–26 points higher. Turner also outperforms the state and its own district in every subject, with students scoring roughly 6–10 points above state averages in ELA, math, and 8th-grade science. However, the top middle schools in the region sit just across district lines in the St. Vrain Valley School District No. Re1J. Altona Middle School (96th percentile), Mead Middle School (87th percentile), and Westview Middle School (83rd percentile) all rank well above Turner.

Turner stands out for its very low poverty rate (17.4% free/reduced lunch) and low chronic absenteeism (18.5%, compared to 28.4% statewide). The school is especially effective for Hispanic students — ranking in the 85th percentile statewide for that group — and for low-income students, who perform above the median. Grade-level data suggest students gain ground as they progress through middle school, with particularly strong 7th-grade ELA (59.5% proficient) and 8th-grade math (52.9%). The main opportunities for growth are 6th-grade math (35.2% proficient) and stretching gifted students, who rank in the 42nd–45th percentile relative to gifted students statewide.
