Turner Elementary

The Turner Elementary school district in Montana is home to two schools - Turner School, an elementary school, and Turner 7-8, a middle school. Despite their small enrollments, these schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly Turner School, which ranks in the top 20% of Montana elementary schools.

Turner School stands out for its exceptional test scores, with 53.85% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, exceeding the state averages. The school's science performance is particularly impressive, with 100% of students scoring proficient or better on the Montana Science Assessment, far surpassing the state average of 38.16%. The middle school, Turner 7-8, also impresses with 63.64% of its students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, again outpacing the state average.

While both schools face challenges related to their small sizes and high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, they have maintained a consistent level of academic excellence. The Turner Elementary district's commitment to providing quality education is evident in its per-student spending, which is higher than the state average, and its small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios of 6:1 at Turner School and 7:1 at Turner 7-8. These factors, combined with the schools' strong performance, suggest that the Turner Elementary district is dedicated to supporting the academic success of its students.
