Summary:
The 39730 zip code area in Aberdeen, Mississippi is home to 3 public schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Aberdeen School District. While the schools share similar challenges, the data reveals no clear standout performers in the area.
Academically, all three schools - Aberdeen Elementary School, Aberdeen High School, and Belle Shivers Middle School - struggle with proficiency rates well below the state average in subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, only 27.8% of 3rd graders at Aberdeen Elementary were proficient in ELA, compared to the 49.4% state average. Similarly, just 29.7% of Aberdeen High students were proficient in English II, versus the 49.5% state benchmark.
Beyond academics, the schools also face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 24.9%, and slightly lower-than-average graduation rates at Aberdeen High School. Additionally, all three schools serve a student population where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty community. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the data suggests a need for more targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes across the board in the 39730 zip code area.
