Summary:
The city of Malone, Texas has only one school, Malone Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 128 students. Malone Elementary is part of the Malone Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 848 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Malone Elementary's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in reading ranged from 22.22% (3rd grade) to 50% (6th grade), compared to the state averages of 48.85% to 54.45%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 11.11% (3rd grade) to 44.44% (8th grade), compared to the state averages of 40.86% to 48.96%. Additionally, a high percentage (86.72%) of Malone Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 to 1, suggesting that the school may have adequate resources in terms of staffing. However, the consistently low academic performance and high poverty rates suggest that the school and the Malone ISD may need to re-evaluate their resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning and achievement.
