Both schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, with the elementary school consistently ranking among the top 15% of Nebraska elementary schools and the high school placing in the top quarter of the state's high schools.
Malcolm Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. The school boasts impressive proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, exceeding the state averages by significant margins. In contrast, the high school has seen a slight decline in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the past three years, though it still maintains a 4-star rating in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years before dropping to a 3-star rating in 2024-2025.
Both schools in the Malcolm Public Schools district have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, around 19% for the 2024-2025 school year. However, the district appears to allocate funding and resources fairly between the elementary and high school, with per-student spending and student-teacher ratios being relatively consistent. The schools serve a student population with a moderate percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a mix of socioeconomic backgrounds.
