Summary:

The 12203 zip code area in Albany, New York is home to 4 schools - 3 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Albany City School District. The data reveals a mix of academic performance, with Westmere Elementary School standing out as the highest-performing school in the group, while Pine Hills Elementary School lags behind.

Westmere Elementary boasts strong test scores across grades 3-5 in both English Language Arts and Math, as well as a relatively low percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch at 24.6%. In contrast, Eagle Point Elementary has some bright spots, including very strong 3rd grade Math proficiency and 5th grade Science proficiency, but overall performance is not as high as Westmere.

At the high school level, Albany High School faces challenges, with a 84.3% 4-year graduation rate below the state average, a 4.5% dropout rate, and a concerning 31.5% chronic absenteeism rate. The school's performance on Regents/state assessments also generally underperforms the state averages, though there are some exceptions like Algebra II and 5th grade Science at Eagle Point Elementary.
