The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of elementary schools in the state, with a ranking of 350 out of 368 schools in the most recent school year.
Talcott Elementary School's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages in both mathematics and English language arts. The school's proficiency rates range from 16.7% to 33.3% in mathematics and 17.4% to 29.6% in English language arts, compared to state averages of 39.1% to 53.2% in mathematics and 45.3% to 46.6% in English language arts.

Additionally, the school is located in the Summers County Schools district, which is ranked 52 out of 55 districts in the state and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1, Talcott Elementary School's per-student spending of $10,794 for the 2018-2019 school year suggests that the school may be underfunded or struggling to allocate resources effectively to support student learning. The school's consistent underperformance and significant gaps in academic achievement highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes in the Talcott community.
