Summary:
The city of Turpin, Oklahoma is home to two schools - Turpin Elementary School and Turpin High School, both serving students in the Turpin school district. While Turpin High School had a strong performance in 2022-2023, its ranking has since declined significantly, dropping from 90 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools to 337 out of 463 in 2024-2025. In contrast, Turpin Elementary School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, falling from 192 out of 411 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 443 out of 614 in 2024-2025.
Both schools face challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.0% in 2024-2025 and significantly below-average test scores in most subject areas and grade levels. The schools also serve a student population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates of 66.92% at Turpin Elementary and 52.07% at Turpin High. While Turpin High School spends significantly more per student ($17,670) compared to Turpin Elementary ($8,937), it is unclear whether these funds are being used effectively to support student learning.
Overall, the data suggests that the schools in Turpin, Oklahoma are facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and resource allocation. Further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes of these issues and develop targeted strategies to improve the educational outcomes for students in the Turpin school district.
