Summary

Malakoff High School in Malakoff, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 426 students in grades 9-12, part of the Malakoff Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top third of Texas districts. The school stands out for its near-perfect graduation rate of 98.9% and a 0.0% dropout rate over the last four years, a consistency that surpasses nearby Cayuga High School (92.1% graduation rate) and rivals Cross Roads High School (98.1%). This is especially impressive given that about 60% of Malakoff students are economically disadvantaged, a higher rate than at Cross Roads or Cayuga, making its solid overall performance a notable achievement.

Academically, Malakoff shows a distinct pattern of strength in English/Language Arts, with English II Reading proficiency (68.33%) significantly above the state average (59.88%). However, it struggles in math and science, with Algebra I proficiency (48.31%) and Biology proficiency (72.55%) both below state averages. The school has made remarkable progress with specific student groups, earning 4-star ratings for its Hispanic students (81st percentile) and English Language Learners (76th percentile), a dramatic improvement from just two years ago. Yet, a puzzling finding is that its Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 3rd percentile statewide, suggesting the school may not be adequately challenging its highest-achieving students.

Compared to nearby schools, Malakoff is a clear academic leader over Athens High School (25th percentile, 1 star), which is just 11 miles away. While Mabank High School and Cross Roads also perform well, Malakoff’s higher poverty rate makes its achievements more striking. The school’s recent improvements with Hispanic, ELL, and Special Education students suggest targeted programs are working, and the challenge ahead is to replicate this success for other groups while addressing the Gifted and Talented program’s shortcomings.
