Malden High consistently performs below the state average on MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests and End-of-Course exams across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 8.7% (8th grade) to 21.7% (6th grade), compared to the state average of 30.6% to 44.4%. The school's four-year graduation rate has also fluctuated, ranging from 89.5% to 97.8% in recent years, which is generally lower than the state average. Additionally, Malden High has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average, ranging from 19.5% to 29.8% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Portageville High and Dexter High, Malden High's academic performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher proficiency rates on MAP tests and End-of-Course exams, as well as higher graduation rates and lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, the school's African American and low socioeconomic status student subgroups have performed better than the school's overall performance on some measures, suggesting that targeted interventions and support could potentially help improve overall outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
