Summary

Albany Elementary is a small public school serving about 159 students in grades PK–5 in the village of Albany, Wisconsin, roughly 25 miles south of Madison. It is the only elementary school in the Albany School District, so the school's results and the district's elementary results are essentially the same. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 278th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 73rd percentile, 4 stars, and its highest mark in at least a decade. The district overall is rated just 2 stars (45th percentile), meaning this school is performing well above its own district's rating.

Math is a clear strength: 3rd graders scored 77.78% proficient against a state average of 54.75%, 4th graders 76.47% against 52.87%, and 5th graders 62.50% against 51.81%. Among nearby schools, only New Glarus Elementary posted a higher 3rd-grade math score. English language arts beats the state at every grade tested but trails the region's top performers, including New Glarus and Belleville Elementary. Social studies (70.59% in 4th grade) is Albany's weakest subject relative to peers, ranking 7th of ten comparison schools. Class sizes are the smallest around — an 8.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio — supported by the highest per-pupil spending in the group, at $19,846. Albany also outranks larger, wealthier nearby schools such as Theodore Robinson Intermediate School and Parkview Elementary.

Chronic absenteeism has fallen sharply, from 22.3% in 2021–22 to 9.5%, well below Wisconsin's 17.3% — though still above Brooklyn Elementary, New Glarus, and Belleville, which each run 4–6%. Female students rose to the 75th percentile and male students to the 67th, while special education students hold steady at the 53rd. Low-income students, however, fell from the 73rd percentile in 2022–23 to the 37th in 2024–25 — a question worth asking at a school this size. That caution applies broadly: with roughly 9 third graders tested, one student can shift a score by 6–11 points. Overall, Albany is posting its best results in a decade while serving more low-income students than several schools it outranks.
