Summary

Albany Middle School in Albany, LA, is a high-performing public school serving 603 students in grades 5 through 8 within the Livingston Parish district, which itself ranks in the top 15% of Louisiana districts. The school has earned a 5-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, placing it in the top 8% of all middle schools statewide (ranked 36th out of 452), a significant improvement from its recent 4-star ratings. Academically, Albany Middle far outpaces its neighbors: in math, 85% of students are proficient compared to 73% district-wide and 62% statewide, while nearby Walker Junior High sits at just 46% proficiency. The school also achieves 100% proficiency in Algebra I for two consecutive years, far exceeding the district (75%) and state (62%) averages.

What truly sets Albany Middle apart is its exceptional performance with all student groups, especially those often underserved. The school ranks 9th out of 225 schools statewide for special education students and 18th out of 450 for low socio-economic status students—a remarkable feat given that 80% of its students qualify for free/reduced lunch. This demonstrates that the school is not just good "for its demographics," but excellent overall, with effective support systems that help every child succeed. In contrast, schools in the neighboring Tangipahoa Parish district, such as Loranger Middle School (ranked 297th) and Greenville Park Leadership Academy (in the bottom 10%), lag far behind, highlighting Albany Middle as a beacon of excellence in a high-performing district.

Despite its stellar academics, the school faces a notable challenge: a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.7%, higher than the district average of 13.3% and nearby North Corbin Junior High School (14.2%). This paradox suggests that while present students are exceptionally well-served, engaging more of the student body could further boost outcomes. Grade-level data shows 6th grade as a standout (93% math proficiency), while 5th grade social studies (58% proficient) falls below the district average (64%), pointing to a potential area for curriculum focus. Overall, Albany Middle is on a strong upward trajectory, making it a top choice for families seeking academic excellence and equity.
