Malvern Middle School faces several areas of concern, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 8.1% in 2019-2020 to 28.3% in 2021-2022, notably higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Louisville Middle School (0.1% in 2023-2024) and Sandy Valley Middle School (21.0% in 2023-2024). The school's academic performance is also mixed, with strong performance in 8th grade Science but struggles in Mathematics, where only 29% of 8th graders were proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 46.3%.

Malvern Middle School's overall ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 474 out of 1,048 Ohio middle schools in 2022-2023 to 568 out of 1,037 in 2020-2021, and its SchoolDigger rating has also been inconsistent, ranging from 2 to 3 stars out of 5. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students, White students, disabled students, and gifted and talented students ranking lower than their peers. Compared to nearby schools like Louisville Middle School and Sandy Valley Middle School, Malvern Middle School's performance is generally lower, and the school may face challenges in addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
