Despite low test scores, there are some positive indicators. The school's graduation rate is 83.0%, and its dropout rate of 2.2% is actually lower than the district average of 2.7%. The strongest subject area is U.S. History, where 61.01% of students scored proficient, relatively close to the state average of 70.17%. However, the data shows a persistent performance gap in math and early high school literacy, with no significant upward momentum in recent years. For parents, this means Aldine High School is a school that successfully keeps most students on track to graduate, but where academic proficiency in core subjects remains a critical area needing improvement.
