Summary

Albany Elementary School in Albany, IN, is a K–5 school in the Delaware Community School Corp that enrolls 267 students and serves a relatively high-poverty community.

In 2025–2026, Albany is rated 3 stars, ranking 488/1015 and 52nd percentile statewide, even though its district is rated 4 stars (81st percentile). Albany’s all-grade proficiency is below its district in English Language Arts (36.5 vs. 45.27), Math (47.45 vs. 51.27), Science (42 vs. 51.67), and 5th-grade Social Studies (54.76 vs. 68.21). Same-district peers Royerton Elementary School and Eaton Elementary School are both 4-star schools and score much higher; Albany trails Eaton by 16.02 points in ELA, 21.61 in Math, 14.6 in Science, and 24.31 in Social Studies. Albany has also slipped over time: it was at the 78th percentile with 4 stars in 2022–2023, then 59th, 56th, and 52nd percentiles, with ELA falling from 49.28 to 36.5 and Math from 62.32 to 47.45. Compared with nearby Muncie schools, Albany generally looks stronger than Longfellow Elementary School, Inspire Academy - A School of Inquiry, and North View Elementary School; East Washington Academy is closer, slightly higher in ELA but lower in Math.

Chronic absenteeism has improved from 33.6% in 2021–2022 to 14.4% in 2024–2025, better than the state average of 16.7% but still above the district average of 12.8% and far above Eaton (6.2%) and Royerton (8.3%). Albany spends $13,144 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 11.7, more favorable than Royerton and Eaton, yet its outcomes are lower. Bright spots include 5th-grade Social Studies at 54.76 and 5th-grade ELA at 47.62, both above state averages. Clear weak spots include 3rd-grade ELA at 26.67 and 4th-grade Science at 42. Overall, Albany performs near the state median and above several Muncie schools, but it lags behind its own district peers and has lost academic ground since 2022–2023.
