Summary

Albers Elementary School in Albers, Illinois, serves 154 students from prekindergarten through eighth grade and can be compared with nearby schools that serve similar grades. Its 2025–2026 overall IAR results are above state averages, but they trail most nearby PK–8 peers. The most important takeaway is that Albers’s all-grade ELA and math results are each second-lowest among the six nearby PK–8 schools.

The school is stronger in science and some upper-grade ELA than its all-grade standing suggests. Fifth-grade science proficiency is 69%, 21 points above the state rate and second-highest among nearby schools with a reported result; seventh- and eighth-grade ELA are also strong at 94% and 91%. By contrast, third-grade ELA is 4 points below the state, and eighth-grade math, at 55%, is the lowest among nearby schools reporting that grade. Overall, Albers is above the state in ELA (73% versus 56%) and math (60% versus 40%), and its reported rates match those of Albers School District 63. Its all-grade results are just above St Rose Elementary School, the only nearby PK–8 peer below it in both subjects.

Results have risen since 2023–2024—ELA by 6 percentage points and math by 5—but state results rose faster over that period; Albers’s leads narrowed overall, then widened in the latest year. SchoolDigger places the school at the 73rd percentile with four stars, down from the 90th percentile in 2022–2023, though up one percentile point from the prior year. Its student–teacher ratio was 10.9 in 2024–2025, among the lowest locally. In that year, 20% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, near the nearby-school average of 22%. One notable subgroup result is SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for White students: the school is at the 44th percentile, compared with its overall 73rd percentile, and the subgroup ranking fell from the 74th percentile three years earlier.
