Malad Middle School

Summary:

Malad Middle School is a public middle school located in Malad City, Idaho, serving 220 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Oneida County School District, which is ranked 50 out of 77 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Malad Middle School consistently outperforms the Oneida County District and the state of Idaho in academic assessments, with significantly higher proficiency rates in ISAT/Math, ISAT/Science, and ISAT/English Language Arts. However, the school has a predominantly white student population, with very low representation of other racial/ethnic groups. Additionally, Malad Middle School experiences higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, and a relatively high percentage of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

In comparison, the closest comparable school, Beutler Middle School, which is part of the West Side Joint School District, outperforms Malad Middle School academically while spending less per student. Beutler Middle School also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate, suggesting that it may be implementing more effective strategies to support student attendance and learning outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
