Overall it's not bad. There's a lot of clubs and activities. Most of the teachers are really good. They also offer a lot of advanced classes and have a good dual enrollment opportunity (the school pays for the dual enrollment class as long as you pass). Occasionally there are fights in the hallways but they've become more and more infrequent throughout my time here. They have a really big library with lots of amazing books.

I am a senior who went through the entire high school in the magnet program that is offered at Aberdeen High School, SMA. I feel that overall it is a positive experience, with just 1 to 2 fights now and then that pops up. I hope that the situations get sorted out quickly.

We just moved to the area in January 2015. So far my son likes the school a lot. We haven't experienced any issues at the school despite online rumors that there are disruptions. I've visited the school several times during the school day and it's always quiet, and the students seem well mannered as...

I am a junior in Aberdeen high and I would not recommend this school to anyone. The teachers are rude and they abuse their power. 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...
