Summary:
The Aberdeen School District in Mississippi has only one elementary school, Aberdeen Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's student population is predominantly African American (94.68%), and 100% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Academically, Aberdeen Elementary School is struggling, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly lower than the state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 29.3% in ELA and 41.9% in Math, compared to the state averages of 57.7% and 53.3%, respectively. The school's overall performance is also poor, ranking 338 out of 390 Mississippi elementary schools and receiving a 1-out-of-5-star rating from School Digger.
Despite the school's high spending per student ($9,868) and low student-teacher ratio (10.6 to 1), these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The combination of high poverty levels, low academic performance, and poor overall school ranking suggests that Aberdeen Elementary School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and significant improvements are needed to better serve the community.
