ABERDEEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Aberdeen Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Grand Rapids Public Schools school district, located in Grand Rapids, MI with about 233 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 15 teachers, Aberdeen Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Aberdeen Elementary School, located in the Creston neighborhood of Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a foundational part of the Grand Rapids Public Schools (GRPS) district. The school serves a diverse student body from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, focusing on building a strong academic and social-emotional foundation for its young learners. Its location on Aberdeen St NE places it within a residential community, allowing it to serve as a local hub for families in the northeast side of Grand Rapids.

The school is well-regarded for its commitment to inclusive education and community engagement. Like many schools within the GRPS system, Aberdeen emphasizes a supportive learning environment designed to meet the varying needs of its students, often incorporating extracurricular programs and enrichment activities to foster creativity and character development. By prioritizing collaborative partnerships between teachers, parents, and the surrounding neighborhood, Aberdeen Elementary strives to prepare its students for success as they transition into the middle school grades.
