Summary

Aberdeen High School is a small rural high school in Aberdeen, Idaho, serving 213 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Aberdeen District. The school offers a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1 and spends roughly $10,088 per student. A significant share of the student body — 68.5% — qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic challenges many families in the area face.

Academically, Aberdeen is a mixed-profile school with a clear bright spot in English language arts. In 2024–2025, 66.7% of students were proficient in ELA, well above the state average of 53.9% and more than double the rate at nearby American Falls High School (33.9%). Math and science scores lag the state — with 18.9% proficient in math and 24.5% in science in 2025–2026 — but they still edge out American Falls High School, which posted 14.9% in math and 25.0% in science. This is especially notable because Aberdeen serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students than American Falls, yet its academic outcomes are stronger.

Aberdeen also shows an encouraging attendance trend: chronic absenteeism fell from 25.2% in 2023–2024 to 13.0% in 2025–2026, now below both the district and state averages. Graduation rates were historically strong, staying above 90% from 2020 through 2024, though the latest reported rate of 82.5% represents a notable drop worth monitoring. The school's current 1-star state ranking doesn't tell the whole story — Aberdeen is clearly the strongest academic performer among its immediate neighbors in the American Falls Joint District, with genuine strengths in literacy and attendance improvement offsetting the challenges it faces in math, science, and rising poverty.
