Talent Elementary School

Summary:

Talent Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 345 students in grades K-5 in the Phoenix-Talent School District 4 in Talent, Oregon. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, currently standing at 405th out of 710 Oregon elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, and it is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Talent Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in OSAS tests, is generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas, particularly in Math. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and students with special education needs performing significantly worse than their peers. In contrast, the school's performance for White students and low-socioeconomic status students is relatively stronger. Compared to nearby schools in the same district, Talent Elementary School generally performs better than Phoenix Elementary School but worse than Orchard Hill Elementary School.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance remains below state and district averages, indicating that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates and utilizes its resources to better support student learning. Additionally, the school's declining statewide ranking over the past decade and the significant disparities in subgroup performance suggest that Talent Elementary School faces several challenges that will need to be addressed to improve the quality of education it provides to all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
