Albers Elementary School is a standout school in several ways. Academically, the school's test scores consistently exceed the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 65.7% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.1%, and 55.6% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school's performance has also improved over the past few years, with its statewide ranking rising from 216 out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 285 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024, and 578 out of 2,056 in 2024-2025.
Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates are impressive, with 50% of 5th-grade students and 76.9% of 8th-grade students scoring proficient or better on the ISA Science assessment, compared to the state averages of 40.6% and 45.4%, respectively. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year is higher than the state average, and the school's relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 16.89% in the 2023-2024 school year suggests potential equity concerns that warrant further investigation.
