Summary

Malvern High School is a small public school in the village of Malvern, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 in the Brown Local district with 166 students — the smallest traditional public high school among its nearby peers. It ranks 423rd of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (47th percentile, 2 stars), and the trend is clearly upward: its statewide percentile rose from 30th in 2022–2023 to 32nd, then 33rd, and then 47th in 2025–2026, its best showing in years.

Its standout strengths are a 100.0% graduation rate for three straight years (2023–2024 through 2025–2026) and a very low student-teacher ratio of 7.1, compared with 18.6 at Louisville High School and 22.1 at Canton South High School. Test results split sharply by subject. Malvern beat the state in American Government (76.2%), American History (77.8%), Biology (79.5%), and English II (74.4%), but trailed badly in Geometry (26.5% vs. 43.3% statewide) and Algebra I (51.0%, though up sharply from 17.9% two years earlier). Students from low-income families performed notably well: the low-SES subgroup ranked in the 63rd percentile statewide with 3 stars, above the school's overall 47th percentile.

Two areas are worth monitoring. Chronic absenteeism was 23.9% in 2025–2026, above the district's 21.1% and higher than Minerva High School (16.9%), United High School (17.1%), Carrollton High School (18.2%), East Canton High School (19.7%), and Louisville High School (21.5%). Gifted-and-talented students also ranked near the bottom statewide in available years. Overall, Malvern sits mid-pack locally — behind Louisville High School (70th percentile) and Carrollton High School (69th), close to Minerva High School (45th), and ahead of East Canton High School (38th), United High School (36th), Sandy Valley High School (35th), and Canton South High School (25th).
