Summary

Tarrallton Elementary is a public elementary school in Norfolk, Virginia, serving around 300 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Norfolk City Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tarrallton Elementary consistently outperforms the Norfolk City Public Schools district and the state of Virginia in standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics and English reading. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Tarrallton's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 76.32%, compared to 58.42% for the district and 72.89% for the state. The school's 4th-grade students also achieved a 90.91% proficiency rate in mathematics, significantly higher than the district (61.3%) and state (72.98%) averages. However, the school's performance for African American students and military-connected students lags behind other subgroups.

Despite Tarrallton's academic success, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 6.3% to 20.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the desired benchmark of 10% or less. The school also spends between $7,930 and $10,266 per student, which is higher than the average for the Norfolk City Public Schools district, and maintains a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.5 to 15 over the past few years, which is lower than the district average.
