[edit] 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] This school is notorious for skateboarding and a place that skateboarders from around the world travel to.[citation needed]
[edit] Demographics
UC Village, a University of California Berkeley family housing unit, is within the Albany USD. Around 2007 some housing units at UC Village had been replaced, leading to a surge in enrollment among the district's school population.[1]

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.
