Ratings and data
Academic information
Albion Elementary currently holds a Fraser Institute rating of 3.8/10, ranking 914/1015 provincially. This score suggests the school is performing below the provincial average in foundational academic metrics. However, the school's 'School Growth Plan' actively addresses this by implementing targeted literacy interventions like 'Reading Simplified' and 'Heggerty' to boost reading and writing proficiency, particularly in intermediate grades. There is also a significant focus on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) to support student resilience and reduce anxiety, acknowledging that emotional well-being is a precursor to academic success.
