Summary:
The 39730 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Aberdeen School District. These schools face significant challenges, with predominantly African American student populations, 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and consistently underperforming on standardized tests compared to state averages.
According to the data, Belle Shivers Middle School and Aberdeen High School are ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types, with 1-2 out of 5 stars. The schools' spending per student, ranging from $9,724 to $11,817, is slightly higher than the state average but still relatively low. However, the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, which is generally considered a positive indicator for educational quality.
The persistent underperformance on standardized tests, high rates of economic disadvantage, and racial disparities in the student population suggest that the schools in this zip code area face systemic challenges that need to be addressed. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach at both the school and district levels to improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
