Summary:
The Albany Leadership Charter School For Girls is the only high school in the data set, serving grades 6-12 in Albany, New York. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low test scores across multiple subject areas and grade levels compared to state averages.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it maintains a relatively high 84.3% four-year graduation rate and a 4.9% dropout rate, suggesting it may be providing additional support to help students complete their high school education. However, the school serves a high-need population, with over 86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which likely contributes to the academic struggles.
The school's spending per student of $17,338 is higher than the state average, indicating it may have access to more resources. However, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Further analysis with comparative data on other high schools in the Albany Leadership Charter School For Girls district would be needed to fully understand the school's performance and identify potential areas for improvement.
