Summary:
The Beloit Turner School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Turner Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 229th out of 641 Wisconsin middle schools in 2023-2024 to 319th out of 628 in 2024-2025.
Turner Middle's academic performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, shows mixed results. While 6th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics scores are above the state average, 7th and 8th-grade scores are generally below the state average. The school has a relatively low dropout rate of 1.3% for the 2023-2024 school year, but a higher-than-desired chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% for the same period.
The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 46.13% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $10,672, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.7, which is within a reasonable range for a middle school. Overall, Turner Middle faces a mix of strengths and challenges, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address areas of concern and improve the school's overall performance.
