Of the 23 Albion High School students who took the Algebra I Regents exam in January, 17 passed with a score of 65 or above, a 74% passing rate, but according to the minutes of the Board of Education's June 1 meeting, none reached the mastery level of 85 or above. High School Principal Jennifer Ashbery presented the figure as part of the district's annual review of its 2025-2026 building goals, one of three building-level academic updates the Board heard that night, alongside reports from Middle School Principal Brad Pritchard and Elementary Principal Angela Conway. The contrast sharpened elsewhere in Ashbery's report. Of 82 students who took the January English Language Arts Regents, 64 passed with a 65 or above (78%) and 31 reached mastery; among 65 students taking the English 3 Regents, 55 passed (85%) and 30 reached mastery. Ashbery said 111 students are currently enrolled in Algebra I and scheduled to take the Regents exam in June. Pritchard's middle-school data, tracked through fall, mid-year and spring assessments, showed uneven progress across grades on two building goals: writing proficiency and math short-response proficiency. Sixth-grade ELA writing proficiency rose from 80% to 86% over the year, for what the minutes describe as overall growth of 6%, and eighth grade rose from 75% to 87%, for overall growth of 12%. Seventh grade, by contrast, moved from 73% to 75% at mid-year, then held at 75% by spring, for overall growth of 2%. Math short-response proficiency showed similar unevenness: sixth grade rose 9 points, from 60% to 69%; seventh grade dipped to 61% at mid-year before finishing at 77%, for overall growth of 5%; and eighth grade posted the largest gain, from 63% to 82%, for overall growth of 19%. Conway's elementary report tracked oral reading fluency, in words read correctly per minute, for students in grades 1 through 5 who were performing below or well below grade level. In four of the five grades, the district recorded 100% of students showing growth: first graders' average rose from 10.64 to 50.52 words per minute over the year; second graders' from 38.36 to 91.74; third graders' from 70.66 to 115.1; and fifth graders' from 101.02 to 140.95. Fourth grade was the exception on both counts. The district recorded 94.5% of fourth-graders showing growth, and the grade's average reading speed, after climbing to 124.3 words per minute at mid-year, fell to 110.44 by spring — still above where students started the year, but below the mid-year mark. The minutes do not explain the drop. Conway also reported that all K-5 teachers took part in numerical-reasoning training with the University of Rochester and that the district purchased additional math manipulatives for K-5 classrooms. On a separate, social-emotional building goal, 287 fourth- and fifth-graders were surveyed this spring as part of the district's Measurable Results Assessment, which the minutes say showed a small measure of growth in students' reported well-being. The Board's next major academic marker arrives this month: Regents exams are scheduled for June 9 (ELA), June 17 (Global) and June 23 (U.S. History). Elsewhere in the meeting, the Board approved a $3,000 budget transfer for Albion marketing materials and heard from Athletic Director Lauren Kinard, who recapped a spring season that included the Boys' Track and Field team's seventh consecutive N-O League title and thanked retiring coach Jay Kovaleski. Six students were recognized for placing at state career-and-technical competitions, with two advancing to Nationals in Atlanta. Superintendent Mickey Edwards told the Board that Building Condition Survey stakeholder meetings with architectural firm CPL begin the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday after the meeting, at the Middle School, High School and Elementary School in turn, to review the survey's Priority 1 findings. The Board also approved a slate of personnel actions and, following executive session, an amendment to the Superintendent's contract.
