Excel Center - Clarksville

Summary:

Excel Center - Clarksville is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Clarksville, Indiana, with a student population of 307. However, the school's performance on key metrics raises significant concerns, especially when compared to nearby traditional public high schools.

Excel Center - Clarksville has extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from just 11.1% to 21.7% over the past 5 years, far below the 86% to 97% graduation rates of nearby schools like Clarksville Senior High School. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 92.7% to 96.5% over the past 3 years, much higher than the 9.4% to 45.1% rates of neighboring schools. Academically, Excel Center - Clarksville students perform poorly on standardized tests, with only 12.12% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Reading/Writing and just 3.03% proficient or better in SAT Math, compared to proficiency rates of 38.64% to 72.73% in Reading/Writing and 7.95% to 41.83% in Math at nearby schools.

These concerning trends suggest that Excel Center - Clarksville is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, who come from a relatively high-poverty background with 29.53% to 35.37% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the root causes of the school's low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and poor academic performance will be crucial for ensuring that all students in the Clarksville Community School Corp district have access to the educational opportunities they deserve.

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.
