Aiken Elementary School

Ontario sits right on the Idaho border in the high desert of eastern Oregon, a small agricultural town with a tight-knit, working-class community. Aiken Elementary shows some real promise on the math side, where it lands closer to the middle of the pack statewide, though English scores leave room for growth — families who want to stay engaged in their child's literacy development will find that involvement makes a meaningful difference here. It's a good fit for families rooted in the community who value a neighborhood school where teachers tend to know every kid by name.
