Summary:

The Albany City School District in New York has only one high school, Albany High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, ranking 947 out of 1,234 high schools in New York for the 2024-2025 school year with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Albany High School's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% is below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.5% is higher than the state average. The school's academic performance on Regents/End of Course exams is generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.29% in Regents/Earth Science to 89.77% in Regents/Common Core Algebra II. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 65.28% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $34,020 for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average, the academic performance remains below the district and state levels. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the school's challenges in improving student outcomes and academic achievement.
