Summary

Talbot Hill Elementary School is a K–5 school in Renton, Washington, serving 445 students in the Renton School District and serving a moderately diverse economic community near several other Renton-area elementary schools. The school has a 16.4 student-teacher ratio and a 48.99% free/reduced-price lunch rate. It ranks in the 69th percentile statewide—353rd of 1,138 Washington elementary schools for 2025–2026—and is one of the stronger schools in its local comparison group.

Academically, Talbot Hill’s clearest strength is mathematics. In the latest testing year, 63.04% of students were proficient in math, about 20 percentage points above both the district and state averages. Math results were strong in 3rd grade (72.22%), 4th grade (66.27%), and 5th grade (50.67%). ELA proficiency was 53.48%, slightly above the state rate and well ahead of most nearby schools. Compared with Benson Hill Elementary School, which serves a similar proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Talbot Hill had higher proficiency in ELA, math, and science. Its statewide ranking also improved substantially, rising 141 places and approximately 12 percentile points from the prior year.

Sartori Elementary School is the clear local leader, but Talbot Hill generally ranks second nearby in ELA and math and ahead of Tiffany Park Elementary School, Cascade Elementary School, Renton Park Elementary School, and Highlands Elementary School. Science is the main academic opportunity: proficiency was 47.30%, below the 50.95% state rate, although it improved from the previous year. Parents may also want to ask about support for students receiving special education services, whose subgroup ranking was at the 31st percentile, well below the school’s overall standing.
