Philip J. Schuyler Achievement Academy
676 Clinton Avenue
Philip J.
Schuyler Achievement Academy opened its doors to students in 2004. The
renovated and expanded school is located at the former site of Public
School 21, which was home to the district's alternative middle school
program.
The building, constructed in
1875, was closed in July 2001. The school was originally slated for
demolition but was renovated in order to preserve the historically
significant structure. In 2005, the City School District of Albany
received an award from the Historic Albany Foundation for the sensitive
renovation of the school.

providing enough space to serve up to 300 students in grades K-5.
