While Turpin Elementary School faces these challenges, some nearby schools, such as Beaver Elementary and Balko Elementary, perform significantly better on standardized tests, with proficiency rates well above the state average.

The relatively low spending per student at Turpin Elementary School ($8,937) compared to some nearby schools, such as Beaver Elementary ($17,101 per student) and Balko Elementary ($19,655 per student), may also be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.
