Summary

North Albany Elementary School is a K–5 school in Albany, Oregon, serving 291 students in the Greater Albany Public School District 8J. In 2025–2026, it ranks 90th of 709 Oregon elementary schools—the 87th percentile—with a 4-star rating. The school has been a 4-star school since 2021–2022, after a run as a 5-star school in the mid-2010s, so its current performance is part of a stable, high pattern rather than a one-year spike.

North Albany’s achievement is well above district and state averages: 67.9% of students met ELA standards, versus 47.8% in the district and 43.8% statewide; math was 58.0%, versus 32.1% district and 32.9% state; and science was 42.6%, versus 31.7% district and 30.6% state. Among nearby schools, it ranks second, behind Oak Grove Elementary School. North Albany has the higher ELA rate (67.9% vs. 63.5%), but Oak Grove leads in math (65.4% vs. 58.0%) and science (48.3% vs. 42.6%) and has lower chronic absenteeism (17.7% vs. 21.6%). A standout result is 4th grade ELA, where 80% of students were proficient, nearly double the district and state rates. Science is the clearest relative growth area. Attendance is a strength: North Albany’s 21.6% chronic absenteeism is below the district’s 34.8% and the state’s 33.5%, and lower than most nearby schools.

What makes these results stand out is the school’s context. About 75.6% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending was $19,601, and the student-teacher ratio was 18.4—higher than several nearby schools. Yet North Albany still outperforms most peers. The school also shows strong subgroup results: male students ranked in the 90th percentile and female students in the 83rd, and its lower-income subgroup has ranked very high in past years, including 96th percentile in 2023–2024. For parents, the main takeaways are consistent high performance, strong attendance, and notable effectiveness for lower-income students. The opportunities to watch are closing the math and science gap with Oak Grove and sustaining the exceptional ELA results.
