At 8:1 students to teachers, Walt Tyler Elementary sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
Walt Tyler Elementary sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.

Why doesn't this school have a score?

Our rating model requires at least 2 of 3 data components (academics, student progress, college readiness, and resources) to generate a meaningful score. Schools below this threshold receive a Limited Profile to avoid misleading ratings.
