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.
Students at Aim Academy of Science & Technology are 99% African American, 1% Pacific Islander.
In the 2023-24 school year, 169 students attended Aim Academy of Science & Technology.
