Summary:
The Brown Local district in Ohio contains three schools: Malvern Elementary School, Malvern High School, and Malvern Middle School. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.
Malvern Elementary School stands out, performing above the state average in several key test score metrics, including 5th grade science, 3rd-5th grade math, and 5th grade ELA. This may be partly due to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8. Meanwhile, Malvern High School maintains an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the state average in American History end-of-course exams, despite having a lower state-wide ranking compared to the elementary school.
However, the district as a whole faces some challenges. All three schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.7% to 21.7%, which is significantly above the state average. Additionally, Malvern High School has an extremely high free/reduced lunch rate of 98.28%, indicating a high-poverty student population. The district's overall ranking of 507 out of 828 in Ohio suggests systemic challenges that impact the performance of its schools, particularly in Algebra I and Geometry, where the math performance is significantly below the state average across all three schools.
