Summary

Turrentine Middle is a public middle school located in Burlington, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 687 students. The school is part of the Alamance-Burlington Schools district, which is ranked 193 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Turrentine Middle consistently underperforms compared to the Alamance-Burlington Schools district and the state of North Carolina in standardized test scores for Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with rankings for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students consistently in the bottom 25% of North Carolina middle schools. As a result, Turrentine Middle has been ranked in the bottom 25% of North Carolina middle schools for the past 10 years, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When comparing Turrentine Middle to other middle schools in the Alamance-Burlington district and nearby districts, it becomes clear that Turrentine is one of the lowest-performing schools in the region. Schools like Hawfields Middle and Western Alamance Middle significantly outperform Turrentine in academic achievement, with higher test scores and better rankings. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, Turrentine Middle has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes for its students, suggesting that factors beyond funding and resources may be contributing to the school's underperformance.
