Explore Excel Charter School is an elementary school serving grades K-8 in the diverse Brooklyn, New York community, with a predominantly African American student population. The school has demonstrated strong academic performance in several areas, particularly for specific student subgroups, but has also experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years.
Explore Excel Charter School has outperformed the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) for grades 4, 6, 7, and 8, as well as in Math for grades 3, 4, 7, and 8.

When compared to the nearby public schools, such as PS 276 Louis Marshall, PS 233 Langston Hughes, and PS 115 Daniel Mucatel School, Explore Excel Charter School generally outperforms them in academic metrics, particularly in Math and Regents exams. However, the school's performance in ELA is more mixed, with some grades performing better and others performing worse than the nearby public schools. The school's high per-student spending of $24,057 and low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 suggest that it has access to significant resources, which could be leveraged to further enhance student outcomes.
