High Schools in Turner-Kansas City

Summary:

The Turner-Kansas City school district in Kansas is home to two high schools: Turner High and Beyond the Bell. Both schools serve students in grades 9-12 and have similar performance metrics, with neither school standing out as significantly better or worse than the other.

Turner-Kansas City as a district has consistently performed below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with only around 23% and 15% of students at Turner High proficient or better, respectively. The district's low rankings, with Turner High ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Kansas high schools, suggest systemic challenges that need to be addressed.

Both Turner High and Beyond the Bell have a 4-year graduation rate of 89.5% and a dropout rate of 1.3% for the 2023-2024 school year. However, Turner High has a very high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 76.01%, indicating that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the challenges in academic performance. The limited data available for Beyond the Bell makes it difficult to draw meaningful comparisons between the two schools, but the overall picture suggests a need for improvement in the district's educational outcomes.
