Albany Unified School District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albany Unified School District includes eight schools in Albany, California, United States.

History[]

Beginning in 2002-2003 the school district established an open door policy allowing non-Albany residents to attend Albany USD schools. By 2007 the district had so many new in-district students that it began to put limitations on out of district transfers.[1]

Demographics[]

UC Village, a University of California Berkeley family housing unit, is within the Albany USD. Around 2007 some housing units at UC Village were replaced, leading to a surge in enrollment among the district's school population.[1]

AUSD schools[]

  • Albany Children's Center (Preschool)
  • Cornell Elementary School (TK-5th)
  • Marin Elementary School (K-5th)
  • Ocean View Elementary School (K-5th)
  • Albany Middle School (6th-8th)
  • Albany High School (9th-12th)
  • Albany Adult School

Before the addition of Ocean View in 1999, the district also included the two sister schools Vista and MacGregor, which were both K-2, and were closed down in 1999. The schools, although separate and located far from each other, were known collectively as Vista-MacGregor Elementary School.
