Summary:
The The Excel Center (For Adults) district in Texas operates 5 public charter high schools that serve adult students in grades 9-12. While these schools provide an important educational option for adult learners, the data reveals significant challenges in terms of academic performance and student outcomes.
Among the standout schools, Diboll stands out with the highest proficiency rates on STAAR EOC exams, particularly in Algebra I where 50% of students were proficient or better, well above the district average of 23%. In contrast, the The Excel Center For Adults - South Austin has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 7.3, which could allow for more individualized attention. However, the district as a whole struggles with very low 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 7.4% to 31.4%, and high dropout rates between 32.0% and 56.1% - all significantly below state averages.
Across the district, performance on STAAR EOC exams is generally low, with most schools scoring below 50% proficiency in Algebra I, Biology, and English II Reading. The racial diversity of the student populations varies, with some schools having a majority Hispanic student body and others a more even mix. Per-student spending ranges from $4,392 to $9,938, with The Excel Center For Adults - South Austin having the lowest spending. While these schools face significant challenges, there is potential for improvement with the right strategies and resources to better support the academic success of adult learners in this district.
