Summary:
The city of Talcott, West Virginia has only one public school, Talcott Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Summers County Schools district, which is ranked 53 out of 55 districts in the state.
Based on the available data, Talcott Elementary School does not appear to be a standout school.

The school's test scores are also significantly below the state averages in mathematics, English language arts, and science, with proficiency rates ranging from 13.6% to 41.4% compared to state averages of 42% to 53%.
The low performance of Talcott Elementary School may be related to funding and resource challenges, as the Summers County Schools district is ranked near the bottom of the state. The school's relatively high spending per student ($10,794) suggests that it may be struggling to effectively utilize its resources to improve student outcomes. Without information on the school's free/reduced lunch rate, it's difficult to determine if socioeconomic factors are contributing to the school's low performance.
