Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 54 teachers, Turner Elementary/6th Grade Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Turner Elementary/6th Grade Academy, located on West 70th Street in Shreveport, Louisiana, serves as a foundational educational institution within the Caddo Parish Public Schools system. The school is uniquely structured to bridge the gap between primary elementary education and the transition into middle school, specifically housing a dedicated 6th Grade Academy. This configuration is designed to provide older elementary students with a more specialized academic environment that prepares them for the increased rigor and departmentalized instruction typical of secondary education.

The campus plays a vital role in its local community, acting as a hub for academic development and student growth in the Shreveport area. By integrating 6th graders into the elementary setting, the school aims to offer a supportive "bridge" year where students can build confidence and academic maturity before moving on to junior high. The facility focuses on fostering a structured learning environment that emphasizes core curriculum standards while addressing the developmental needs of both its younger elementary pupils and its transitioning 6th-grade students.
