Summary
Turner High is a public high school in Beloit, Wisconsin, serving grades 9–12 in the Beloit Turner School District and enrolling 459 students — smaller than the large comprehensive high schools in nearby Beloit and Janesville, but larger than many of the area's rural, charter, and alternative schools. In 2025–2026, Turner High ranked 311 of 533 Wisconsin high schools, placing it in the 42nd percentile with a 2-star rating, while its district ranked 256 of 432 districts in the 41st percentile.
The school's clearest strengths are completion and engagement. Its 98.0% graduation rate, 0.8% dropout rate, and 12.9% chronic absenteeism rate all beat the state averages and compare well with nearby schools such as Craig High, Parker High, Memorial High, Rock River Charter School, and Beloit Learning Academy. English language arts has also been above the state average every recent year (50.44% in 2025–2026 vs. the state's 48.47%), and per-student spending of $14,162 is lower than many neighboring districts, which suggests the school gets solid results from relatively modest resources.
Academics are uneven elsewhere. Math has fallen below the state average every year shown (34.51% vs. 42.93% in 2025–2026), science has swung between above and below state, and social studies has been consistently below state (44.64% vs. 48.25%). How well the school serves different groups varies widely: Hispanic students ranked in the 82nd percentile with 4 stars and low-income students in the 54th percentile with 3 stars, while special education students and multi-racial students ranked in the single-digit percentiles with 0 stars. After dropping to the 28th–29th percentile in 2022–2024, Turner has recovered to the 40th–42nd percentile — a mid-ranked school with strong completion metrics and room to grow in math, science, and social studies.
