Summary

Albany High is a public high school located in Albany, Wisconsin, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 85 students. The school is part of the Albany School District, which is ranked 314 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Albany High has faced several challenges in recent years. The school has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 52nd out of 410 Wisconsin high schools in 2017-2018 to 377th out of 431 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year. Its academic performance, as measured by test scores, has been inconsistent, with some strengths but also struggles in certain subjects and grade levels. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 90.4% and 96.7%, which is generally lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 1.1% to 2.5%, higher than the state's average. Additionally, Albany High has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, with the percentage of students missing 10% or more of the school year ranging from 11.2% to 19.5%.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Oregon High, Belleville High, and New Glarus High, Albany High appears to be underperforming in several areas. These schools consistently outrank Albany High in statewide rankings and have higher academic proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. Additionally, Albany High spends significantly more per student ($16,936 to $19,267) compared to the nearby schools, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the impact on student outcomes.
