Summary:
ZIP code 44644 covers Malvern, Ohio, a small community served by three public schools — Malvern Elementary School (K–5), Malvern Middle School (6–8), and Malvern High School (9–12) — all part of the Brown Local district, sharing one campus at 3242 Coral Rd NW and enrolling 568 students combined. The district ranks 411th of 773 in Ohio, in the 47th percentile with 2 stars.
Malvern Elementary School is the standout: it ranks 681st of 1,560 schools (56th percentile) with 3 stars — the only Malvern school earning 3 stars in the latest year — and has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 18.3%, below the district's 21.1%. Its scores mostly exceed state averages, including 5th grade science at 75.6% vs. 62.7% statewide (+12.9 points) and 3rd grade math at 71.8% vs. 62.1% (+9.7 points), with 4th grade math the exception at 62.8% vs. 67.3% (−4.5 points). It also improved sharply in ELA, with 4th grade rising from 50.0% to 65.1% and 3rd grade from 54.5% to 64.1%.
The secondary schools are more mixed. Malvern High School posts a 100.0% graduation rate and beats the state in Biology (79.5% vs. 67.0%), English II (74.4% vs. 62.7%), American History (77.8% vs. 73.2%), and Government (76.2% vs. 71.6%), but trails badly in Geometry (26.5% vs. 43.3%) and Algebra I (51.0% vs. 61.6%). Malvern Middle School shows a similar split: Algebra I End-of-Course reaches 72.2% vs. the state's 61.6%, yet 8th grade math is only 31.3% vs. 52.0%. Absenteeism climbs at the secondary level (23.7% middle, 23.9% high), suggesting the elementary-to-middle transition is worth watching.
