Summary:
Malta, Ohio has just one school in this data set: West Elementary School, an elementary school serving grades PK–5 with 255 students in the Morgan Local district. No middle, high, or alternative schools are listed for the area. As the only school here it stands out by default, but it also stands out against its district and state: West Elementary School is rated 3 stars and ranks in the 62nd percentile among 1,560 schools in 2025–2026, while Morgan Local is rated 2 stars in the 39th percentile among 773 districts. Its rank history is stable at 3 stars, between the 62nd and 65th percentile, across three years.
Academically, the school's average proficiency was 71.1% in 2025–2026, versus 61.9% for the district and 63.8% for the state. Across 16 reported tests in 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, it beat its district on 12 and the state on 14. Standouts include 4th grade math at 80.6% (district 67.8%, state 67.3%), 4th grade ELA at 80.6% (district 63.2%, state 61.8%), and 5th grade ELA at 77.4% (district 60.6%, state 70.4%). Chronic absenteeism is 13.4%, well below the district's 21.0%. The student–teacher ratio is 12.1, and per-student spending was $8,935 in 2018–2019; free/reduced-lunch data is not reported.
ELA is a particular strength in 2025–2026, with grades 3, 4, and 5 all above both district and state. Math is strong overall, though 3rd grade math was 66.7%, below the district's 73.3% but above the state's 62.1%. Science is mixed: 61.3% in 2025–2026 topped the district's 57.8% but fell slightly under the state's 62.7%. One anomaly is that 2024–2025 results include 6th grade math and ELA even though the school is listed as PK–5. Also note that school and district ranks use different comparison pools, no state absenteeism comparison is provided, and the spending figure is historical.
