Summary:
The Albany City School District is home to two high schools: Albany High School and Cap District Juvenile Secure Detention. Albany High School is the larger and more prominent of the two, with 2,676 students enrolled, while Cap District Juvenile Secure Detention has just 7 students.
Albany High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 822 out of 1,190 New York high schools in 2021-2022 to 968 out of 1,242 in 2023-2024. However, the school stands out with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in Regents/Common Core Algebra II compared to the state average. On the other hand, the school's overall test scores are generally lower than the state averages across various Regents/Common Core exams.
One notable factor is the high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at Albany High School, which stands at 68.8%. This suggests a student population facing significant economic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance compared to the state. Unfortunately, the data provided for Cap District Juvenile Secure Detention is quite limited, making it difficult to draw any meaningful conclusions about the performance of this smaller high school within the district.
