The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of White students and significant representation from African American, Hispanic, and multiracial backgrounds.
Academically, Taylor Elementary School faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math well below the state averages.

Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 30.5% is a concern, as it can negatively impact student learning and achievement.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's academic struggles, as 77.78% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite these challenges, Taylor Elementary School is generally performing better than the overall Taylor Community School Corp district in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency.
