Summary:

Excelsior Charter School Corona-Norco is a public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in Corona, California, with a relatively small student population of 129 students. The school is part of the Excelsior Charter School Corona-Norco District, which is ranked 699 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Excelsior Charter School Corona-Norco has consistently ranked in the middle range of California high schools, with mixed performance on standardized tests compared to state averages. While the school had higher proficiency rates than the state in 11th grade English Language Arts and 8th grade English Language Arts, it generally underperforms nearby schools like John F. Kennedy High, which had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate has improved, but its dropout rate of 10.0% in 2022-2023 is higher than the state average and some nearby schools.

Excelsior Charter School Corona-Norco has a diverse student population, with a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. While the school's percentage of free or reduced-price lunch recipients is lower than some nearby schools, it still faces challenges in supporting and retaining its students, especially in mathematics. The school's small size and charter school status may provide opportunities for more personalized learning and targeted interventions, which could help address the academic and social-emotional needs of its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
