The nearby schools in the Ontario School District 8C, such as Pioneer Elementary, Cairo Elementary, May Roberts Elementary, and Alameda Elementary, all have similar academic performance and ranking profiles to Aiken Elementary School, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school are likely systemic within the district. This presents an opportunity for the district to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve academic outcomes for all students.
