The Malden High School Community:

Malden High School is committed to providing all students with a diverse, student-centered, and rigorous curriculum that is adaptable enough to reach all learning styles and needs. We do this through offering a wide variety of academic and enrichment opportunities. As an urban school, it is our great pride that we are among the leaders in Advanced Placement courses in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This year, we have worked closely with the BARR Foundation to complete a comprehensive review of academic offerings, instruction, curriculum, student data, and school-wide focus on areas of need. As a result of the data collected, we will focus on improving the transition from middle school to high school, as well as establishing a vision for MHS and its students as they move through high school and prepare for college and career. We have also continued our work to help us move towards increasing our Student Growth Percentile (SGP) in ELA and Math MCAS.

Malden High School offers a wide variety of enrichment opportunities for students, including division 1 varsity, junior varsity, and freshman level athletics, robust theater, choral, and band programs, and over 70 clubs and organizations. We recognize a need to serve the many new English Language Learners in our population and are examining a variety of programs and methods to better serve them to ensure academic success.
