Excelsior Charter

Summary:

Excelsior Charter is a public charter high school located in Victorville, California, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 2,180 students. The school is part of the Excelsior Charter District, which is ranked 1120 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Excelsior Charter has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 818 out of 2,133 California high schools in 2018-2019 to 1,426 out of 2,323 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars out of 5 in 2018-2019 and 2021-2022 to 2 stars out of 5 in the current and previous school years. Excelsior Charter's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking relatively well for African American students but struggling with other subgroups, such as female students, white students, and multi-racial students. The school's performance for English Language Learners and students with disabilities is also concerning, with rankings in the bottom half of California high schools.

Academically, Excelsior Charter's performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Test (CAST), is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy ranged from 32.32% to 45.17%, compared to the state average of 45.95% to 55.73%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 10.69% to 18.51%, compared to the state average of 27.9% to 35.54%. The school's science proficiency rates, as measured by CAST, were also well below the state average, ranging from 13.54% to 19.06% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 28.95% to 32.08%. However, Excelsior Charter's performance is generally better than the nearby Goodwill High and Goodwill Independent Study schools, which have significantly lower academic achievement and higher dropout rates.

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.
