Summary:
The Magnet Cove School District is home to a single elementary school, Magnet Cove Elementary School, which serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade in Malvern, Arkansas, with a total enrollment of 368 students.
Magnet Cove Elementary School stands out for consistently outperforming the state average across all core subjects in the 2025-2026 school year. The school achieved above-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts (44.7% vs. 39.4% state), Reading (43.0% vs. 40.4%), Mathematics (46.7% vs. 44.1%), and Science (46.7% vs. 44.0%). A particularly notable highlight is the 6th-grade Science proficiency rate of 57.9%, which is 15.4 percentage points higher than the state average of 42.5%. The school has also shown strong year-over-year improvement, with overall proficiency rates increasing in all four subjects from the previous year, and its state ranking has climbed from the 43rd percentile to the 60th percentile over three years.
Despite serving a student body where nearly 60% qualify for free or reduced lunch, the school's per-student spending of $12,103 and a student-teacher ratio of 17:1 appear to support effective learning. However, 4th grade represents a relative weak point, with scores falling below state averages in ELA, Reading, and Science. Overall, Magnet Cove Elementary School demonstrates a strong, upward trajectory and a well-rounded educational program that consistently beats state benchmarks, making it a solid choice for families in the district.
