TURKEY RUN JR-SR HIGH SCHOOL

Turkey Run Jr-Sr High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the North Central Parke Comm Schl Corp school district, located in Marshall, IN with about 210 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 27 teachers, Turkey Run Jr-Sr High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. 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.
