Summary:

Excel Center - Noblesville is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Noblesville, Indiana, with a student population of 185. While part of the Options Charter Schools district, the school's performance lags significantly behind nearby high-performing public schools like Carmel High School and Westfield High School.

Excel Center - Noblesville has faced declining four-year graduation rates, dropping from 44.4% in 2018-2019 to just 25.0% in 2022-2023, which is much lower than the 95%+ rates at nearby public high schools. The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism, reaching 86.8% in 2022-2023, over 4 times the rate of Carmel High School at 12.8%. Academically, only 50% of 11th graders were proficient or better in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing, and 0% were proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, significantly lower than the high-performing nearby schools.

Other concerning trends include a decreasing racial diversity, with the percentage of white students increasing from 62.16% to 43.78% over the past 3 years, and the school spending significantly less per student ($4,978 in 2021-2022) compared to schools like Carmel High School ($10,687 per student). These factors suggest Excel Center - Noblesville may be facing challenges in supporting its at-risk student population and helping them succeed academically.

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.
