Alban Elementary School has seen fluctuating statewide rankings over the past several years, ranging from a high of 84 out of 408 West Virginia elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 307 out of 355 in 2024-2025. The school's current ranking for the 2022-2023 school year is 170 out of 368 schools, with a 3-star rating.

When compared to nearby elementary schools in the Kanawha County district, Andrews Heights Elementary School and Central Elementary School have outperformed Alban Elementary in recent years. Alban's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges, though the school's per-student spending is slightly higher than the district average.
