I am impressed with the changes being made in all the Malden schools. Discipline is under control and the alternative school has helped get the disruptive students out of the classroom so the students who are there to learn can do so. I am impressed.

The atmosphere in the building is positive and geared to learning, staff is friendly and informative, parents are encouraged to participate at all levels, and discipline issues are handled well!

The have really done a lot lately to improve the district. New technology and a new attitude from the administrators have improved this school a great deal.

This school is outstanding and has just received a top 10 percent of all high schools in the nation award in U S News and World Reports. Many extracurriculars and an elementary with the best technology in the region.

My children where in this school district and wont be back! The academic program is poor. The principle is not helpfull or supportive. I do not advise anyone who loves their children to put them in this school.

Hi, There is nothing good I can say about this school. My kids and I do not agree with alot that goes on here. They need some major diciplinary actions for the kids that are out of control. As far as academic programs, their getting a little better and actualy have added a few new ones. That's about the only good thing I have to say about this school. And also they are very clicky, it's like this, whoever has the money in the town gets the most attention it seems. And that is not fair for the ones not so fortunate.

The principle at the 4-6 building is the greatest... He listens and for me is very supportive. There are some good teachers, very good in fact and there are a few who are extreme opposite.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Missouri used the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math and communication arts, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The results for math, communication arts, and science are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The MAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Missouri. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
