Summary:

The city of Talent, Oregon has only one elementary school, Talent Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Phoenix-Talent School District 4, which is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger and ranks 108 out of 140 districts in the state.

While Talent Elementary School has some positive metrics, such as higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages, it also faces several challenges. The school's overall statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 405 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 307 out of 706 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is quite high at 34.3% for the 2023-2024 school year, and its proficiency rates in Science for 5th grade students are significantly lower than the district and state averages.

Other key metrics for Talent Elementary School include a student-teacher ratio of 15.4, which is on the higher end, and a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 84.37% in 2023-2024, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges for the school's population. The school's spending per student of $21,071 in 2022-2023 is relatively high, but this does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes. Overall, Talent Elementary School faces a mix of strengths and challenges, and the school and district should work to address the areas of concern to improve student outcomes and the school's standing within the state.
