Summary

Albany Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving 475 students in grades K-6 in the Utica City School District in Utica, New York. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with over 70% of its students coming from low-income families.

Albany Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranged from 37.88% to 53.62% and 40% to 48.53%, respectively, compared to the Utica City School District's rates of 34.97% to 41.98% in ELA and 36.55% to 42.3% in Math. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students performing better than male students. Additionally, the school struggles with the performance of Asian, White, and English Language Learner students, ranking in the bottom quartile for these subgroups.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $25,553 in the 2023-2024 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.5, Albany Elementary School's academic performance remains below average. When compared to other nearby schools within the Utica City School District, such as Thomas Jefferson Elementary and Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary, Albany Elementary School lags behind in academic measures. The school also performs significantly worse than schools in other districts, such as Hughes Elementary in the New Hartford Central School District and Deerfield Elementary in the Whitesboro Central School District, which serve more affluent communities.
