National city placement

Compact system with teacher-dense staffing

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Malone has more public-school enrollment than 14% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Malone is a comparatively small school market by total enrollment, yet its average student-teacher ratio is lower than most cities in the national comparison set. Small scale can make that staffing pattern easier to sustain, but it can also limit the breadth of specialized programs available at any one campus. The school list below shows whether students are concentrated in one combined-grade campus or distributed across separate elementary, middle, and high-school settings.

Combined-grade campuses shape the local portfolio

4 of Malone's 6 listed schools use NCES's combined or “other” grade-level classification. Citywide averages therefore blend campuses serving unusually broad or nonstandard grade spans with conventional elementary, middle, and high schools. Grade configuration is a first-order comparison here, not a minor label.

A small portfolio contains radically different campus scales

Malone lists only 6 schools, yet reported enrollment runs from 31 to 705 students, a 23-fold range. In a portfolio this compact, the smallest record may be a specialized or nonstandard setting rather than a miniature version of the largest campus. That distinction affects how ratios and program fields should be read. Compare similarly configured grade levels first; combining the extremes into one city average conceals more than it explains.

Franklin Academy High School accounts for 33.0% of all Malone public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Malone-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: High. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Malone school enrollment varies 23× across entities

Malone school enrollment ranges from 31 students (lowest) to 705 students (highest), a spread of 674 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Malone student-teacher ratio is 8.4:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.

Data from NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 and Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) 2021-22. The Resource Investment Index uses reported student-teacher ratio, counselor access, gifted programs, and attendance; it is not an academic rating. Cities must include at least five schools to be listed. This public-data comparison is for informational purposes: verify current enrollment, attendance boundaries, and programs with the school district before acting.
