Summary:
The Turpin school district in Oklahoma has two schools - Turpin Elementary School and Turpin High School. Both schools are struggling to maintain strong academic performance, with Turpin Elementary seeing a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over time.
Turpin Elementary School has seen a significant drop in its statewide ranking, falling from 192 out of 411 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 443 out of 614 in 2024-2025. This indicates the school is performing worse relative to other elementary schools in the state. Meanwhile, Turpin High School had a strong performance in 2022-2023, ranking 90 out of 439 Oklahoma high schools, but its ranking has since dropped to 261 out of 431 in 2023-2024 and 337 out of 463 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating.
Both schools have high rates of chronic absenteeism at 19.0% in 2024-2025 and generally perform below the state average in standardized test scores. Additionally, the schools have very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. While Turpin High School spends more per student than Turpin Elementary, this higher spending does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes based on the available data.
