Summary

Montessori Magnet School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Albany City School District, with 324 students enrolled. This relatively small school has a strong performance history, consistently ranking in the top 25% of New York elementary schools in recent years and earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Montessori Magnet School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, significantly outpacing the Albany City School District and the state of New York on standardized tests. In 2024-2025, the school had over 70% of its 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, compared to less than 50% for the district. The school's high per-student spending of $34,141 and low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 may contribute to its strong academic outcomes.

While Montessori Magnet School performs exceptionally well overall, its performance for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is lower than for other subgroups. This suggests the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of these underperforming groups to ensure equitable access and outcomes for all students. Compared to nearby schools, Montessori Magnet School stands out as a high-performing outlier, with significantly higher academic achievement than the district average and many of the other local elementary schools.
