Such an inviting school! All the teachers are amazing. Its nice to know how invested even the other grade teachers are in my childs education and experience. My child loves going to school there. They do tons of family involved events and they have a wonderful principal.

I LOVE Malcolm. My son has gone here for the past 3 years and is now in 5th grade and my daughter for the past 2 years and is in 1st grade. I have had nothing but great experiences with the students, teachers, and Principal. They are all wonderful they know the parents and students by name. They have lots of activities for the children and always do new things to keep the kids interested in school and learning. Any time children want to go to school everyday and are made when school is closed then you know they are doing things right.

Great school with caring teachers and wonderful support staff. The principal and vice principal are the best you could ever ask for. I have both of children currently attending (5th and 1st) and both love it. My only negative aspect about the school is that it an older school and has had to recently add trailers to accommodate the additional students which is no fault of the faculty. I wish the county/state had the funding to upgrade the school. I definitely would recommend this school!

I really miss this school a lot! This school is what started it all for me! I completely agree with everyones reviews except for the first ever one. That is not true! I had to put that out there because it is a fantastic school. I completely disagree with that parents review and frankly think that it's not true(what they said). Everything there is planned WAY ahead of time and always has a very fun and educational twist! This is the best school ever and all the faculty do their best every day to make students safe, smart, and proud. Just glance around the school and you will realize that. I LOVE MALCOLM!

I am a grandparent of a student at this school. My daughter also attended this school in the 1980's. Wonderful, positive school! Very creative programs. The staff and teachers truly care about what they are doing. Love it!

Malcolm Elementary is a great school. The principal the teachers all show genuine care and concern for the students. The principal and Vice Principal seem to know each student by name. My son is home school and my daughter who attends full time does exceptionally well, thanks to the care and teaching they receive. This is my son's last year at Malcolm and he already hates the thought of leaving.

I think that Malcolm is a great school well worthy of its blue ribbon rating. I attribute a lot of my pleasant experience with the Charles County School system and the services they offer students with special needs. I am very pleased and would be hard pressed if I ever had to consider having my children anywhere else!
