Summary

Talbot Hill Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 445 students in the Renton School District, currently rated in the middle-upper tier of Washington elementary schools and showing a steady pattern of improvement in recent years.

The school has a clear strength in mathematics, where its students consistently outperform both the district and state averages by a significant margin. It also demonstrates exceptional effectiveness with specific student groups, such as English Language Learners. While performing well overall, the school's science scores are an area for growth, and performance tends to dip in the 5th grade. Compared to a nearby school with a very similar student population like Benson Hill Elementary, Talbot Hill achieves notably higher proficiency rates, particularly in math.

Within the district, Talbot Hill stands out for achieving strong outcomes with relatively efficient use of resources, spending less per student than some lower-performing neighboring schools such as Highlands Elementary. However, it trails the exceptional performance of the district's top-rated Sartori Elementary. Overall, Talbot Hill is a steadily improving school that effectively serves its diverse community within the broader context of the Renton School District.
