Overall the school does an adequate job, but there certainly is room for improvement. Read less

I sent a son to Malden Catholic for 2 years before I came to my senses and sent him to Malden High. It couldn't have been a better move. Malden high has a larger curriculum!

Students got scholarships to MIT and Harvard last year from Malden, not MC! Read less

Please don't listen to rumors and look at the appearance that would only make you shallow. Read less
