North Albany Senior High School is a comprehensive public high school located in the North West of Albany, a regional centre 420 kilometres (261 mi) south-southeast of Perth, Western Australia.

The school was established in 1982[3] and by 2012 the school has an enrolment of 429 students between Year 8 and Year 12, approximately 13% of whom were Aboriginal.

The school was targeted by vandals in 2010 with dozens of windows around the school being smashed during a weekend leaving a damage bill of over $10,000.[4]

Enrolments at the school have been in decline over the past few years with 646 students enrolled in 2007, 643 in 2008, 616 in 2009, 506 in 2010, 436 in 2011 and 429 in 2012.

In 2013 the school appeared in the state's top 50 schools for WACE results for the first time in 10 years, ranked at 28. Sharyn O'Neill, director-general of WA's Department of Education, said the school had turned around after a negative expert review in 2009.[5]
