Albany School District

Albany School District is a small Wisconsin district with three schools serving about 300 students from prekindergarten through 12th grade, all sharing one campus at 309 Vinton St in Albany, WI. District-wide, it ranks 236 of 432 — 45th percentile, 2 stars. Because the district is small, grade-level cohorts are tiny, so year-to-year swings are less stable than in larger districts.

Albany Elementary is the standout: 278 of 1,039 (73rd percentile, 4 stars), up from 43rd percentile and 2 stars two years earlier. It has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 9.5% and scored above the state average in every listed subject and grade, with 3rd and 4th grade math more than 23 points above state. Albany Community Middle is the steady one — 323 of 643, 50th percentile, 3 stars for three straight years, absenteeism 12.5%, the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (33.33%) but the lowest per-student spending ($18,572). Its 7th and 8th grade math beat the state, while 6th grade ELA and 8th grade science trailed.

Albany High is the most mixed: 340 of 533 (36th percentile, 2 stars) after a 1-star year. It reports a 100% graduation rate, above the state's 92%, and 10th grade social studies at 63.16% versus 48.25% statewide — but ACT ELA (28.57%), math (14.29%) and science (35.71%) all fall below state. Absenteeism climbs by grade level across the district, from 9.5% to 12.5% to 20.0% at the high school, the only Albany school above the state's 17.3%. Albany High also spends the most per student ($25,341) with the smallest student–teacher ratio (6.1), yet has the lowest current rank.
