Despite the challenges faced by Malden Grade School, the school does have some strengths, including smaller class sizes and higher per-student spending than the state average. These factors may be contributing to the school's mixed academic performance. Further analysis of the school's specific strategies, resources, and challenges would be needed to fully understand the factors driving its performance and identify areas for improvement.
