Summary

Albany Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 263 students in grades K-5 in Albany, Indiana. It is part of the Delaware Community School Corp district, which is ranked 68 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating.

Albany Elementary School faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 16.7% to 20.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores on the ILEARN assessments are also generally lower than the district and state averages, especially in English Language Arts, with only 37.59% of all grades proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 45.49% for the district. Additionally, Albany Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.56% to 69.2% over the past few years, much higher than the nearby Royerton Elementary and Eaton Elementary schools in the same district.

Interestingly, when comparing Albany Elementary to schools outside the Delaware Community School Corp district, such as North View Elementary and Longfellow Elementary in the Muncie Community Schools district, the performance gap is even more pronounced, with those schools having significantly lower test scores and higher poverty rates than Albany Elementary. The higher spending per student at Albany Elementary, at $13,144 in 2023-2024, suggests that additional resources are being directed to the school, but the outcomes do not yet reflect this investment.
