Summary

Malad Elementary School is a public elementary school in Malad City, Idaho, serving 411 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Oneida County School District, which is ranked 54 out of 96 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Malad Elementary School consistently outperforms the Oneida County District and the state of Idaho in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 55.6% of Malad Elementary students were proficient or better in ISAT/Math, compared to 27.8% for the Oneida County District and 43.1% for the state. However, the school has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 0.4% to 17.1% in recent years, which is an area of concern. Additionally, Malad Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33.98% to 45.62% in recent years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

When compared to the nearby Downey Elementary School and Harold B. Lee Elementary School, Malad Elementary School stands out in its academic performance, particularly in ISAT/Math and ISAT/English Language Arts. However, Downey Elementary School has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its students' academic success. Overall, Malad Elementary School is a strong-performing school within the Oneida County School District, but the school's fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates and the socioeconomic factors of its student population are areas that warrant further attention and targeted interventions.
