GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I would say the best parts of attending Malden High School would be all the available resources. The school has a college and career center which helps students with collage and trying to find a job. The school also offers a clinic that can check students for diseases or to just have a physical. The worse times I would say would be staff members moving too fast in a class when students are visibly confused on the subject.

One of the best things about Malden High is its diversity. They offer a range of academic programs, including honors, Advanced Placement, and dual-enrollment courses. They also offer ASL as a language class, adding to the school's inclusivity. In terms of extracurriculars, there is a large range of athletics and clubs for students to engage with. However, like most pubic schools, the faculty and academics are a hit or miss.

Some of the best experiences that I've had at Malden High were meeting the people there. Having transferred to that school my junior year, it was warm and welcoming and people were kind and fun to get to know. I find my experiences at Malden High to be enjoyable, and also interesting.

Students vape and hang out in the halls in groups; it's outrageous. Counselors are pretty nice; look out for the teachers...

Great school! Graduates are going off to very prestigious colleges and universities, such as Harvard, Yale, Cornell, and Northeastern.
