Summary

Albany Community Middle is a small public middle school in Albany, Wisconsin, serving grades 6–8 with just 66 students in the Albany School District. It ranked 323rd of 643 middle schools statewide in 2025–26 — about the 50th percentile, or 3 stars — a substantial improvement from the 20th–26th percentile range it occupied in 2015–2018. The school now sits near the state median and ranks slightly above its district, which places 236th of 432 districts.

Small size and strong resources set Albany apart from its neighbors. Its student-teacher ratio of 8.5 in 2024–25 is lower than nearly every nearby school, and its per-pupil spending of $18,572 is the second-highest in the area. It is also the second-smallest middle school nearby, after Monticello Middle. Achievement, however, remains uneven: Albany has not caught top nearby districts such as New Glarus Middle (95th percentile), Belleville Middle (93rd), or Oregon Middle (68th), though it is competitive with Monticello (50th) and ahead of Brodhead Middle (44th).

On the 2025–26 Forward Exam, 7th- and 8th-grade math were strengths, both above state averages and above most nearby schools. The clearest gaps were 6th-grade English language arts, the lowest among nearby schools with comparable data, and 8th-grade science and social studies, the lowest among all nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism (12.5%) is better than the state's 17.3% but has risen for two straight years, and the reported dropout rate of 2.2% is above the state's 1.1%. Male students ranked above average (66th percentile), while female (39th) and low-income (41st) students ranked below. Because only 66 students attend, one student can shift a grade-level score by several points, so multi-year trends matter more than any single year.
