Summary

Albany High School is a mid-sized high school in Albany, LA, serving 534 students in grades 9-12 within the highly-rated Livingston Parish school district, where nearly 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. While the school’s overall state ranking has recently dipped from a 4-star to a 3-star rating, it still generally outperforms state averages in core subjects like English II (74% proficiency) and Biology (70% proficiency), and it stands out dramatically when compared to schools in the neighboring Tangipahoa Parish district. For instance, Albany’s Algebra I proficiency rate of 70% is nearly double that of Amite High Magnet (44%) and Independence High Magnet (34%), highlighting a significant academic advantage over these nearby schools.

One of the school’s strongest assets is its exceptional support for Special Education students, ranking in the 80th percentile (4 stars) for effectiveness with this group—a standout metric that surpasses the school’s overall rank. Additionally, Albany maintains an impressively low dropout rate, which was 0.0% in the 2023-2024 school year, far below the state average of 3.1% and a stark contrast to Tangipahoa Parish schools like Loranger High School (4.8%). Chronic absenteeism, at 18.0%, is higher than the Livingston Parish district average (13.3%) but significantly lower than the state average (22.5%) and dramatically better than rates at schools like Amite High Magnet (52.3%), positioning Albany as a relatively stable environment for attendance.

However, parents should be aware of some concerning trends. The graduation rate dropped sharply from 93.7% to 82.0% in the 2024-2025 school year, a red flag that warrants attention, especially as the district and state rates remained stable. There has also been a notable decline in performance for African American students, dropping from the 83rd percentile to the 40th percentile over two years, suggesting a growing equity gap. Furthermore, Algebra I proficiency saw a volatile 21-point swing between recent years, indicating potential instability in instruction or student preparedness. Despite these challenges, Albany remains a strong choice relative to many neighboring schools, particularly for families seeking a low dropout rate and robust Special Education programs.
