Summary

Aberdeen Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Aberdeen, Idaho, with 276 students. The school is part of the Aberdeen District, which is ranked 76 out of 96 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Aberdeen Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Idaho elementary schools over the past decade.

The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 15.0% to 25.7% in recent years, well above the state average. Its test scores are consistently below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Math (34.6%), Science (32.6%), and English Language Arts (36.2%) in 2024-2025 falling well short of state benchmarks. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.7% to 70.85% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby Pocatello District schools, such as Rulon M Ellis Elementary, Chubbuck Elementary, and Lewis & Clark Elementary, generally outperform Aberdeen Elementary School on key metrics, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school may be unique to the school or district. Despite the higher per-student spending of $9,042, Aberdeen Elementary School has not shown significant improvement in its performance over the past decade, indicating that additional resources alone may not be enough to address the underlying issues.
