Summary

Albany Leadership Charter School For Girls is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Albany, NY, with 392 students. While the school aims to provide a quality education, it has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York high schools over the past decade, with a current statewide ranking of 1158 out of 1234 high schools and a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments and Regents exams, is significantly below the state and local averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 12.24% of 8th graders were proficient in math, compared to the state average of 46.74%. The school also struggles with proficiency in English Language Arts, science, and most Regents exams. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 84.3% and 66.6% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average, and the dropout rate has ranged from 4.5% to 10%, also higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby public high schools, such as Maple Hill Junior/Senior High School, Troy High School, and Colonie Central High School, Albany Leadership Charter School For Girls consistently underperforms academically. These nearby schools have higher proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. While the school's per-student spending has increased from $15,620 in 2020-2021 to $21,883 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average, this increased funding has not translated into improved academic outcomes.
