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 some of the best parts of MHS is the diversity. You never find 2 people who are the same. Theres always people of different colors around and people of different backgrounds. its one of our best qualities.

Throughout my entire high school career, I've built countless relationships with my peers and teachers. My teachers have all been very cooperative to support me whenver I need it. However, I do wish that the minority of troublemakers didn't ruin the experience for the rest of the school, closing bathrooms or reducing privileges.

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.

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.
