Summary:
The city of Malin, Oregon is home to a single elementary school, Malin Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade as part of the Klamath County School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9, its academic performance on standardized tests is generally below the district and state averages, with inconsistent results across grade levels and subject areas.
Malin Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 275th out of 706 Oregon elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 313th out of 710 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests is mixed, with the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranging from 22.2% (3rd grade) to 60% (4th grade), and in Mathematics, the range is 26.7% (5th grade) to 46.2% (6th grade). The school's 5th grade performance on the OSAS Science test is also below the district and state averages.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $20,842 for the 2021-2022 school year, the data suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be influencing Malin Elementary School's academic performance. The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 77.87% in the 2022-2023 school year. While the school's performance is not a standout, the data indicates that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and support to better serve the students of Malin Elementary School.
