High Schools in Aberdeen School District

Summary:

The Aberdeen High School is the sole high school serving the Aberdeen School District in Mississippi. With an enrollment of 334 students, the school faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high poverty levels, and declining rankings over the past few years.

Aberdeen High School's academic performance is concerning, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in all tested subject areas, ranging from 29.7% in English II to 51.7% in U.S. History, compared to state averages of 49.5% and 69.7%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 73rd out of 226 high schools in 2022-2023 to 196th out of 232 high schools in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend of declining performance. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% may be contributing to its academic challenges.

The Aberdeen School District as a whole is also struggling, ranked 100th out of 130 districts in Mississippi and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. With 100% of Aberdeen High School's students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the district serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may be a factor in the school's underperformance. Significant interventions and support may be needed to improve educational outcomes for students in this community.
