Summary

Malvern Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 268 students in grades K-5 in Malvern, Ohio, which is part of the Brown Local School District. The school generally performs better than the state average on Ohio State Tests, with 73% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science compared to the state average of 63.4%. However, Malvern Elementary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.3% to 21.7% in recent years, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Malvern Elementary outperforms Stephanie Rushin Patrick Elementary (Canton City) and AIM Academy @ Belden (Canton City) on test scores, especially in Math and English Language Arts. However, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Louisville Elementary (Louisville City) and Washington Elementary (Marlington Local). Additionally, Malvern Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years but has generally trended downward, from a high of 492 out of 1,636 Ohio elementary schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 799 out of 1,558 in 2024-2025.

The school's relatively high percentage of low socioeconomic status students (ranked 481 out of 1,473 Ohio elementary schools for this subgroup in 2024-2025) may be a factor in its academic performance, as research has shown that students from low-income backgrounds often face additional challenges in educational attainment. Addressing the school's chronic absenteeism issues could also be a key focus area for improvement.
