Summary

Katherine L. Albiani Middle is a consistently high-performing public school serving about 1,450 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Elk Grove Unified School District.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, with students scoring well above state averages in English and Math, and for its exceptional support of all student groups, including those from low-income families and those in special education. A key factor in this success is the school's low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.4%, which is significantly better than the district and state averages and contributes to a stable learning environment. Notably, Albiani achieves these outcomes while spending less per student than many other middle schools in the area, such as James Rutter Middle and Samuel Jackman Middle.

While Elizabeth Pinkerton Middle is a similarly high-performing peer in the district, Albiani's ability to maintain its top-tier ranking even as the number of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch has grown is a testament to its effective programs. The school serves as a strong example within a district that has a wide range of school performance, demonstrating that high achievement is possible across diverse student populations.
