Summary:
The city of Aberdeen, South Dakota is home to 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The schools in this area display a wide range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like C C Lee Elementary - 05 and Holgate Middle School - 02 ranking among the top schools in the state, while others struggle to meet state averages.
The data reveals stark contrasts in school performance within the Aberdeen School District 06-1. The top-performing schools, such as C C Lee Elementary and Lincoln Elementary - 08, boast exceptional test scores, with over 70% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. These high-achieving schools also tend to have lower rates of economic disadvantage, as indicated by their free and reduced lunch rates. In contrast, schools like Simmons Elementary - 10 and May Overby Elementary - 09 have significantly lower test scores and higher rates of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The data also suggests that factors such as student-teacher ratios may play a role in academic performance. Schools with lower student-teacher ratios, like Lincoln Elementary - 08, appear to provide more individualized attention and support to their students, which could contribute to their stronger academic outcomes. Additionally, the schools in Aberdeen display varying levels of racial diversity, with some institutions serving more diverse student populations than others, which could be an area for further exploration.
