Summary:
Excelsior Charter is the sole public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in the Excelsior Charter District in California, with a total enrollment of 2,180 students. While the school's graduation rate of 90.7% is slightly above the state average, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in Mathematics and Science.
Excelsior Charter has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 1.9%, but its student-teacher ratio of 25.8 is slightly higher than the state average. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 63.12% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic challenge may contribute to the school's academic struggles, and additional resources and support may be needed to address the needs of its student population.
Over the past three school years, Excelsior Charter's performance has declined, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1020 out of 2123 California high schools in 2021-2022 to 1426 out of 2323 in 2023-2024, and its star rating decreasing from 3 to 2 stars. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its academic outcomes, particularly in core subject areas, to better serve its students and the Excelsior Charter District community.
