GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best parts at being at Aberdeen is experiencing the amazing prep rally's, homecoming games and dances. This school is just so unique filled with creative people that love to engage and have fun. I wouldn't say that there is anything bad about at this school.

If you go to the principle with a problem they say they will handle it but never do. This school is a big joke and I wouldn't send my child there. They will screw you up...
