Summary

Aberdeen Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 363 students in grades PK-4 in Aberdeen, Mississippi. The school is part of the Aberdeen School District, which is ranked 100 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One key issue at Aberdeen Elementary is its consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.4% to 23.9% over the past few years - significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are also consistently lower than the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 27.8% of 3rd graders and 33.3% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 49.4% and 52.1%, respectively. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.94% to 100% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Aberdeen Elementary to nearby schools, it is clear the school is underperforming. For instance, Nettleton Primary School, about 19 miles away, has significantly higher test scores in both ELA and Math for 3rd grade students. Similarly, Caledonia Elementary School, about 16 miles away, is a high-performing school with test scores well above the state averages. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism, low academic achievement, and high levels of economic disadvantage will be crucial in improving outcomes for the students at Aberdeen Elementary School.
