Summary:
The Excel Center - Muncie, the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Excel Center - Muncie district, faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its 273 students. With a predominantly White student body and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Indiana high schools and struggles with extremely low academic performance, graduation rates, and attendance.
The school's academic performance is alarmingly low, with 0% of students proficient or better in both Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and Mathematics on SAT assessments. Its four-year graduation rate of only 12.7% is a fraction of the statewide average, and the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 95.6% indicates that the majority of students are missing a significant amount of instructional time. These challenges may be exacerbated by the school's relatively low per-student spending of $3,678 and a student-teacher ratio of 19.5, which could limit the resources and individual attention available to students.
The data suggests that the Excel Center - Muncie requires significant interventions and support to improve the educational outcomes for its students. Addressing the root causes of the school's poor performance, such as inadequate funding, high absenteeism, and lack of academic support, will be crucial in ensuring that all students have access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to succeed.
