Summary:
The city of Aberdeen, Mississippi is home to a single high school, Aberdeen High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 73rd out of 226 Mississippi high schools in 2022-2023 to 196th out of 232 in 2024-2025. Its performance on state assessments is below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 29.7% in English II to 51.7% in U.S. History.
Aberdeen High School has a student population of 334 and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2022-2023 was 89.4%, which is slightly below the state average, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% for the same school year. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, suggesting it may have adequate resources in terms of staffing.
To address the challenges faced by Aberdeen School District, further analysis of factors such as student enrollment trends, teacher qualifications, and the availability of academic support programs would be beneficial. By understanding the root causes of the school's declining performance, the district can develop targeted strategies to improve educational outcomes for the students of Aberdeen High School.
