The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Struggles to find adequate teachers for specific classes. Admin doesn't do enough for the students, select staff get away with being unprofessional.

my experience at Albany leadership coming from a co-ed school to just girls was a difficult change but was worth it i built friendships with these girls and also my teachers. the teachers here at ALH push you to be college and career readiness. Thing i would like to be change is all teachers support us,more technology based in our school.
