Albany City School District

Summary:

The Albany City School District consists of 16 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving students in the Albany area. The district's performance varies significantly, with some standout schools like Albany School Of Humanities and Montessori Magnet School achieving strong proficiency rates, while others struggle with low test scores and high dropout rates.

The Albany School Of Humanities, a magnet elementary school, stands out as the district's top performer, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages in English Language Arts and Math. Another high-performing magnet school, Montessori Magnet School, also impresses with its strong academic results. In contrast, some schools like Giffen Memorial Elementary and Roots Academy At West Hill struggle with very low proficiency rates, highlighting the challenges faced by high-poverty schools in the district.

The district's middle schools, particularly Stephen And Harriet Myers Middle School and North Albany Academy Middle School, also perform poorly compared to the state, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes at the middle school level. Overall, the Albany City School District faces significant disparities in academic performance, with some schools excelling while others grapple with persistent challenges.
