Summary

Turner Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 295 students in grades K-5 in West Chicago, Illinois. The school is part of the West Chicago Education Service District 33, which is ranked 688 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Turner Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 32.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 31.7% in math, compared to 53.1% and 38.5% statewide, respectively. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 18.7% to 26.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. These academic and attendance challenges are likely linked to the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 58.16% to 70.85% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, when comparing Turner Elementary School to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Currier Elementary, Pioneer Elementary, and Indian Knoll Elementary, the academic performance issues appear to be systemic within the West Chicago Education Service District 33. Addressing the underlying factors, such as student engagement, support for economically disadvantaged students, and attendance barriers, could be crucial in improving outcomes for all students in the district.
