Summary:
The 44644 zip code area is home to three schools - Malvern Elementary School, Malvern High School, and Malvern Middle School - all part of the Brown Local School District. While the elementary school shows academic strengths, the high school struggles in key math subjects, and all schools face high chronic absenteeism rates.
Malvern Elementary School outperforms the state average in several 5th grade subject areas, including Science, Math, and English Language Arts. The school also maintains strong 3rd and 4th grade Math proficiency rates. In contrast, Malvern High School's proficiency rates in Algebra I (28.1%) and Geometry (24.5%) are significantly lower than the state averages, suggesting a need to focus on improving math instruction and support for students in these critical subjects.
All three schools in the 44644 zip code area face high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.7% to 21.7%, which is significantly above the state average. This is a concerning issue that likely impacts student learning and achievement. Additionally, Malvern High School has an extremely high free/reduced lunch rate of 98.28%, indicating a high-poverty student population and the need for the district to consider addressing the unique challenges and resource needs of this community.
