Summary

Turner Elementary in Willis, TX, is a K-5 school serving 463 students within the Willis Independent School District (Isd), a district that has faced challenges but where Turner itself shows promising signs of recovery after a recent dip in performance.

Turner Elementary is a school of contrasts, with standout strengths and clear areas for growth. The most exciting news is a dramatic turnaround in 5th-grade math: proficiency jumped from 33% in 2023-2024 to 61% in 2025-2026, now the highest among all Willis ISD elementary schools and well above the state average. This suggests a highly effective new approach in that grade. The school also excels with its Gifted and Talented (GT) program, ranking in the 90th percentile statewide. However, the school faces a critical challenge with its English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank in the 4th percentile—a major concern that is less pronounced at higher-performing nearby schools like Eddie Ruth Lagway Elementary. Overall, Turner sits in the middle of the district pack, outperforming C C Hardy Elementary (7th percentile) but behind W Lloyd Meador Elementary (70th percentile) and Lagway (74th percentile).

Despite serving a high-poverty population (67% free/reduced lunch), Turner serves its low-income students relatively well (61st percentile), and it does so with lower per-student spending ($8,422) than other district schools like Parmley Elementary ($9,530). The school’s history as a former 4-star school suggests a strong foundation, and the challenge now is to replicate the 5th-grade math success across other subjects and grade levels while urgently addressing the needs of its ELL students. For parents, Turner represents a school in transition—one with pockets of excellence and a clear focus on improvement.

We must not abandon the need for diversity in education however Turner Elementary continues the targeting, the bigotry, the hate. An institution of learning should not discriminate on the basis of race or any other differences pertaining to skin color, household size, backgrounds should not be attacked by a school on campus or off campus through white supremacy groups affiliated with the school.
