Summary

Albert & Iola Lee Davis Malvern Elementary is a K-5 school in the McKinney Independent School District (Isd) serving 415 students in a historically central area of McKinney, TX. The school has faced significant challenges, with its overall state ranking dropping to the 23rd percentile (1 star) for the 2025-2026 school year, a sharp decline from a peak of the 51st percentile just two years prior. A key factor is that nearly 75% of students qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch, a rate far higher than nearby schools like Roy Lee Walker Elementary (16.54% disadvantaged, 90th percentile) and Robert L Puster Elementary (3.65% disadvantaged, top 1% in the state).

Despite these hurdles, the school has a remarkable bright spot: its bilingual program. Students taking the STAAR Spanish exam consistently outperform the district average, with 4th-grade reading proficiency at 41.18% versus the district's 27.45%, and 5th-grade reading at 58.33% versus 28.17%. This suggests the school's approach to serving Spanish-speaking students is exceptionally effective. Additionally, recent subgroup data shows promising gains for African American students (jumping from the 35th to 53rd percentile) and Special Education students (from the 10th to 50th percentile), indicating that targeted interventions may be working for some groups even as overall scores have dipped.

However, the school struggles with systemic weaknesses, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates are roughly half the district average. For example, only 25.37% of 4th graders were proficient in math compared to the district's 51.08%. The school also spends more per student ($13,077) than higher-performing neighbors like Valley Creek Elementary ($10,503), suggesting resources are not yet translating into proportional academic outcomes. For parents considering this school, the standout bilingual program and recent subgroup improvements offer hope, but the overall performance and math challenges remain significant concerns.
