School Overview

Tucked into the quieter, more residential side of Huntington Beach — away from the tourist bustle but still close enough to feel the beach town vibe — Talbert Middle School is a strong choice for families who want solid academics without leaving the laid-back South OC lifestyle behind. Scoring in the 90th percentile statewide, it punches well above its weight across English, math, and science, making it a natural fit for families who prioritize college-prep readiness starting in middle school. The surrounding neighborhoods are suburban and family-friendly, with good parks, easy freeway access, and the kind of community where parents tend to be engaged and involved.
