Summary:
Malin, Oregon has just one school listed in this data set: Malin Elementary School, an elementary school serving grades K–6 with 126 students, part of the Klamath County School District. There is no middle or high school in Malin, so families should expect students to move to schools outside the city after grade 6.
Malin Elementary is a bright spot. In 2025–2026, 52.1% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 43.8% in math, above both district (41.1% and 28.3%) and state (43.8% and 32.9%) averages. Fourth and sixth grades were especially strong: 4th grade reached 72.2% in both ELA and math, while 6th grade hit 70.0% in ELA and 47.4% in math. Chronic absenteeism is 16.4%, roughly half the district's 31.0% and the state's 33.5%. The school's state rank improved to 278 out of 709 schools (61st percentile, 3 stars), ahead of the district's 45th percentile and 2 stars. Class sizes are small, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.6 and per-student spending of $23,131.
Two areas deserve attention: science and grade-level gaps. Only 15.8% of students were proficient in science, compared with 28.5% in the district and 30.6% in the state. Third grade (33.3% ELA, 31.3% math) and 5th grade (30.0% ELA, 25.0% math, 15.8% science) trail district and state averages in most subjects. With only 126 students, grade-level cohorts are small, so a few students can shift these percentages noticeably. It is also worth noting that 91.27% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — a very high poverty rate — yet the school still outperforms the state in ELA and math.
