Dennis G. Earl Elementary

Dennis G. Earl Elementary sits in Turlock, a Central Valley city with a close-knit agricultural community feel that's larger than it looks — home to Cal State Stanislaus and a surprisingly active local arts and food scene. The school serves a diverse mix of families in the eastern part of town, and while its academic scores fall below state midpoints, it's part of a district that's actively working to close gaps and support its students. Families who are deeply rooted in the Turlock community and value a neighborhood school with a familiar, welcoming atmosphere will feel right at home here.
