Summary

Aberdeen Middle School is a public middle school in Aberdeen, Idaho, serving 144 students in grades 6-8. 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.

Despite being in operation for years, Aberdeen Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Idaho middle schools, with its highest ranking being 81 out of 100 in the 2017-2018 school year. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating persistent low performance. This is further reflected in the school's academic proficiency rates, which are significantly below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math (31.1%), Science (35.9%), and English Language Arts (45.5%) were all lower than the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Alameda Middle School and Hawthorne Middle School in the Pocatello District, as well as the public charter school Alpine Academy, the performance gap is quite significant. These nearby schools consistently outperform Aberdeen Middle School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates and the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population may be contributing factors to its low academic performance, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address these underlying issues.
