Summary

Albany Options School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Albany, Oregon, with a total enrollment of 168 students. The school is part of the Greater Albany Public School District 8J, which is ranked 65 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Greater Albany district, Albany Options School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Oregon high schools over the past 10 years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly underperforms the state and district averages in standardized test scores, with only 23.4% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Science, compared to 44.1% and 37.2% for the district, respectively. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 36.4% to 83.3% in recent years, which is much lower than the state and district averages.

In comparison, nearby high schools such as West Albany High School and South Albany High School perform significantly better than Albany Options School on academic measures, graduation rates, and other key metrics. For example, West Albany High School ranked 23rd out of 270 Oregon high schools in 2024-2025, with 64.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the large proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Albany Options School may be contributing factors to the school's poor performance, and the district may have opportunities to identify and implement strategies to improve student outcomes.
