TALLEY HIGH SCHOOL

Talley High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Renton School District school district, located in Seattle, WA with about 314 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 17 teachers, Talley High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Talley High School is an alternative learning institution located in Seattle, Washington, and is part of the Renton School District.

The program emphasizes flexibility and student-centered instruction, aiming to re-engage learners who might have struggled in a comprehensive high school setting. Through the Student Learning Center (SLC) model, the school integrates academic rigor with social-emotional support, ensuring that students have the resources necessary to overcome obstacles.
