Summary

Turner Middle is a grades 6–8 school in Beloit, Wisconsin, serving 381 students in the Beloit Turner School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 294th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools — 54th percentile, 3 stars — which is above its own district's 41st percentile (2 stars) and well above the Beloit School District, which sits at the 1st percentile statewide. The school has moved up and down over recent years but has generally climbed from a 2020–2021 low of 1 star.

Turner's clearest strengths are attendance and science/social studies. Chronic absenteeism was 7.7% in 2024–2025 — less than half the state rate of 17.3% and far below nearby Aldrich Intermediate (40.9%) and Fran Fruzen Intermediate (40.5%), and better than Phoenix Middle (8.7%) and Parkview Junior High (11.6%). In 2025–2026, 8th grade science was 62.39% versus the state's 51.86%, and 8th grade social studies was 65.81% versus 64.63%. The school also stands out for how well it serves English Language Learners and Hispanic students, ranking in the top fifth of schools statewide. Notably, Turner spends among the least per student in the area ($11,358) and has a higher student-teacher ratio (16:1) than most neighbors, yet outperforms several higher-spending schools. Compared with the two closest Beloit district schools, Turner's results are dramatically higher despite those schools spending $15,000–$17,000 per student.

The main academic concern is 8th grade ELA and math, which came in at 46.15% and 43.59% in 2025–2026, both below state. Eighth grade math has fallen for three straight years (63.72% → 52.99% → 43.59%), making it the most obvious improvement target. Effectiveness for White students, students in special education, and low-income students ranks below the school's overall standing, and the low-income figure has slipped toward the middle. For parents weighing options, Milton Middle (78th percentile) and Parkview Junior High (83rd percentile) are the top nearby benchmarks, and Turner's science is already competitive with them. Attendance at Clinton Junior High and Northside Intermediate is similarly strong. Also worth monitoring: a 2024–2025 dropout rate of 1.9% (above state and district) and a drop in per-pupil spending from $13,151 to $11,358.
