Summary:
The city of Turner, Maine is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Regional School Unit 52/Maine School Admin District 52. The data reveals a mix of school performance, with Tripp Middle School standing out for its relatively high proficiency rates on state assessments, while Turner Elementary School lags behind the district and state averages.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern across all 4 schools, with rates ranging from 23.4% to 26.6%, higher than the state average. The schools also show varying free and reduced lunch rates, from 24.19% to 34.05%, indicating differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations. Leavitt Area High School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from 12th in 2021-2022 to 76th in 2023-2024, and has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.8%.
Overall, the data suggests that while there are some bright spots, such as the strong performance of Tripp Middle School, the schools in Turner face challenges related to chronic absenteeism and inconsistent academic outcomes. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and support the success of all students in the district.
