Summary

Malvern Middle School is a public middle school located in Malvern, Ohio, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 134 students. The school is part of the Brown Local School District, which is ranked 507 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Malvern Middle School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.7% to 25.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores are generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts lower than the state averages for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students generally performing better than female students, and White students and students with disabilities tending to have lower rankings compared to their peers.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Louisville Middle School, which is about 10 miles away, Malvern Middle School generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. However, the school's Algebra I proficiency rates are notably higher than the district and state averages, suggesting it may be doing a better job in this specific subject area. Malvern Middle School's spending per student ($8,336 in 2018-2019) is also lower than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the school's overall performance.
