Summary:
The eight schools in Turner-Kansas City include four elementary schools, two middle schools and two high schools, serving students from elementary through high school; seven report 2025–2026 test results. Across those schools, average proficiency was 41% in English, 34% in math and 29% in science, compared with statewide results of 46%, 41% and 38%. The most important takeaway is that results vary widely by school, and the area’s average proficiency trails the state in every subject—most in science.
Turner Elementary stands out in English and science: its results were 52% and 39%, respectively, about 13 and 12 percentage points above the other reporting schools’ averages in those subjects. It was also 6 points above the state in English, though its math result, 40%, was just below the state. Oak Grove Elementary led in math at 42%, just above the state. At the lower end, Turner High had the lowest math and science results, 21% and 15%—20 and 23 points below the state. Turner Middle School had the lowest English result, 31%, 15 points below the state.
Average results improved from the prior year, but not equally: English rose about 3 points and math about 2, while the math gap with the state was essentially unchanged; science rose about 4 points among schools with results in both years, though the state result also fell. SchoolDigger rankings improved for Turner Elementary (up 16 percentile points), Turner High (up 12), Oak Grove (up 7) and Turner Middle (up 5), while Midland Trail fell 11. Attendance is another notable difference: chronic absenteeism was 40% at Turner High and 33% at Turner Middle, versus 18% statewide. Beyond the Bell has no test-score results in the supplied data.
