The school's students consistently outperform the state and district averages on Ohio State Tests across various subjects, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, Geometry, and Algebra I. Turpin High School also maintains a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 96.0% to 97.8% over the past few years, which is well above the state and district averages.

While Turpin High School excels overall, the performance gaps between different student subgroups suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of underperforming student populations.

However, the school's performance for multi-racial, special education, low socioeconomic status, and disabled students is relatively lower. Turpin High School faces competition from other high-performing schools in the area, such as Walnut Hills High School and Mariemont High School, which consistently rank among the top schools in the state.
