of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 23% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

AIM Academy @ Belden is a K–6 elementary school in Canton, Ohio, serving 267 students as part of the Canton City district, and in 2025–26 it ranked 1,204th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (23rd percentile, 1 star).

Its results have sat in the bottom quartile for years, and 2025–26 is a modest step up from 2024–25 rather than a breakout. Reading is the relative bright spot: the school beat the Canton City district average in all four tested ELA grades, including a wide gap in grade 6 (48.7% proficient versus 28.0%). Math is the clearest concern. AIM Academy fell below the district in grades 3, 4, and 5 math, and grade 5 math was just 15.4% proficient — 10.5 points under the district and 43.7 points under the state. Sixth grade posted large gains in both math and ELA this year, but grade 4 reading and math declined, so the improvement is not schoolwide, and every tested area remains below the state average.

Attendance is the school's strongest differentiator. Chronic absenteeism was 21.2%, well below the district's 35.3% and far below nearby charter schools such as Beacon Academy (52.1%) and Summit Academy Community School for Alternative Learn-Canton (54.1%). It is higher, though, than the best nearby district schools, including Canton Arts Academy @ Summit at 9.9%. Class sizes are comparatively small, with a 15.7 student–teacher ratio, lower than most same-district elementaries. One more relative strength: African American students ranked at the 51st percentile with 3 stars, well above the school's overall 23rd percentile.
