Malta Elementary

Tucked away in the piney woods of East Texas near the Arkansas border, Malta Elementary serves a tight-knit rural community where families tend to put down roots and stay. Performing solidly above the state's midpoint in both English and math, it's a strong option for families in the New Boston area who want a smaller-school feel without sacrificing academic quality. Life out here moves at a slower pace — think Friday night football, open land, and neighbors who know your name — and Malta Elementary fits right into that fabric.
