Its standout achievement is in 3rd grade math, where 61.8% of students are proficient—a remarkable 14.8-point jump from last year and 13.5 points above the state average. This is especially notable given that nearly 61% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.

Beyond academics, the school benefits from a favorable 12.4:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $16,503. Chronic absenteeism is just 11.3%, which is 6.4 points better than the state average and notably strong for a school with high poverty rates. The school outperforms its district in 3rd grade math by nearly 14 points but lags in 4th and 5th grade math and science. English Language Arts scores from the most recent cycle are not yet available; the latest data (2024-2025) showed proficiency ranging from 24.2% in 3rd grade to 38.4% in 4th grade. Overall, Taylorsville Elementary School shows strong early-grade momentum and solid attendance, but sustaining improvement in upper-grade math and addressing science proficiency will be critical for continued success.
