Aim Academy of Science & Technology

Summary:

Aim Academy of Science & Technology is a public charter secondary school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving 143 students in grades 6-11, with an overwhelmingly African American student population of 98.6%.

Aim Academy faces significant academic challenges, with only 7.37% of its students proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to the state average of 45.47%. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 99.3%, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 17.8. In contrast, nearby schools like White Bear North Campus Senior, HOPE Community Academy High School, New Century School Secondary, and Universal Academy Middle/High have more diverse student populations and better academic performance.

The lack of racial diversity at Aim Academy may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience, and the consistently low academic performance across multiple subjects and grade levels suggests that the school is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Identifying and addressing the root causes of these challenges could be crucial in helping the school better serve its students and community, who come primarily from low-income backgrounds served by the White Bear Lake School District, Hope Community Academy, New Century School, and Universal Academy Charter School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
