Summary

Alexander Elementary School in Albany, OH is a PK–5 school serving 669 students as part of the Alexander Local district, making it notably larger than every nearby elementary in this part of southeastern Ohio, most of which enroll 184 to 477 students and sit roughly 7–18 miles away.

Academically, the school is improving but still mid-pack. It ranked 748 of 1,560 statewide in 2025–2026 (52nd percentile, 3 stars), up from the 35th percentile in 2020–2021, though slightly below its district's 56th percentile. That places it ahead of nearby Trimble Elementary School (19th percentile), Meigs Intermediate School (28th), Amesville Elementary School (33rd), and Nelsonville-York Elementary School (42nd), but behind Union Furnace Elementary School (88th), South Elementary School (78th), and Central Elementary School (61st). Test scores are mixed: 3rd grade ELA (71% vs. state 63.4%) and 4th grade math (67.7%) are relative strengths, while 4th grade ELA (55.6% vs. 61.8%), 5th grade ELA, and 5th grade science (59% vs. 62.7%) lag. Fifth grade science slipped from 69.1% in 2022–2023 to 59%, and 3rd grade math fell from 74.7% to 59.8% over the same period. Chronic absenteeism, however, improved substantially—falling from 28.4% in 2021–2022 to 18.0% in 2025–2026, below the district's 22.1% and many nearby schools.

Subgroup results show a striking internal contrast: the school ranks 66th–67th percentile for low socio-economic status students, up sharply from the 40th percentile in 2023–2024, while special education students sit around the middle at 41st–48th percentile. Male students (41st–44th percentile) trail female students (51st–53rd) by roughly 10 percentile points. Per-student spending was $8,892 in 2018–2019, lower than most nearby schools. One caution: a reported 6th grade math score of 100% is unusual for a PK–5 school and may be a data reporting issue.

Monday, February 9, 2009

very narrow minded atmosphere.focus is invested mainly into student athletics, no focus on empathy and positive peer pressure. so bad i left to attend a boarding school, only dreading the fact i ran out of funds and had to graduate from alexander. the school board is extremely unaccountable, and the administration often is very one sieded. send your kids to athens local, boarding school, or home school before considering alexander.
