Summary

Turner Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in the Wilkinsburg Borough School District in Pennsylvania, with 230 students. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom 15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Turner Intermediate School consistently underperforms the state and district averages on PSSA tests in both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 21.1% of students were proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 41.7%, and only 18.9% were proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 48.5%. The school's performance for certain student subgroups is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for female students, male students, and low socioeconomic status students in both subjects. However, the school performed better for African American students, ranking in the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools in Math.

Despite the high per-student spending, ranging from $14,379 to $26,949 per student in recent years, and the relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.2 to 9.8 over the past few years, Turner Intermediate School has not shown any significant improvement in its academic performance over the past decade. When comparing the school to nearby schools, such as the Urban Academy of Greater Pittsburgh Charter School, it becomes clear that Turner Intermediate School is an outlier in terms of academic performance, even though it serves a similar demographic of students.
