Summary

North Albany Academy Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Albany City School District, with 488 students. Despite its relatively small size, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York middle schools over the past 5 years, earning 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

North Albany Academy Middle School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's academic performance lags far behind state and district averages, with only 29.24% of 6th graders proficient in ELA and just 1.12% of 8th graders proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 50.86% and 46.74%, respectively. This performance gap has persisted over the past 3-4 years, and the school struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 25-40% of New York middle schools across racial/ethnic subgroups and for English Learners, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($39,132 in 2023-2024) compared to the district ($18,413) and state averages, North Albany Academy's higher spending has not translated to improved outcomes. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.7, suggesting resources are not being effectively utilized. Neighboring middle schools in the Albany City School District, such as Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School and William S. Hackett Middle School, perform slightly better than North Albany Academy but still lag behind state averages, while middle schools in other nearby districts, like Bethlehem Central Middle School and Howard L. Goff School, significantly outperform North Albany Academy across the board.
