A record percentage of graduates accepted to college

ALBANY, NY (June 24, 2007) -- More than 400 Albany High School students walked across the stage and received their diplomas on Sunday, June 24, and a record percentage of those students, estimated at more than 90 percent, were accepted to attend college.

The City School District of Albany serves almost 9,400 students in 19 elementary, middle and high schools. The district includes several magnet schools and programs, as well as other innovative academic opportunities for students in addition to neighborhood schools. The district is more than halfway through its comprehensive facilities project to newly build and/or renovate nearly all of its elementary and middle schools. The ultimate goal of the facilities project is to provide schools with the resources necessary to help students succeed in the 21st century.
