Summary:
This analysis covers one high school, Excelsior Charter School Corona-Norco, a grades 7-12 charter school serving 133 students in the Excelsior Charter School Corona-Norco District in Corona, California.
Excelsior Charter School Corona-Norco demonstrates significant strengths in student engagement and completion, with a remarkable 90.6% graduation rate that exceeds the state average and a reported 0% chronic absenteeism. However, the school's academic proficiency scores in core subjects like English, math, and science are below state averages, creating a notable contrast where students attend regularly and graduate at high rates but do not perform as well on standardized assessments.
The school has shown improvement in its statewide ranking over the past three years, moving from the 50th to the 37th percentile. With over half of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and moderate per-student spending, the school's high graduation rate and perfect attendance are particularly noteworthy achievements. For parents, this profile suggests a school environment that successfully supports students through to graduation but may require a closer look at academic rigor and instructional support, especially in mathematics where proficiency gaps are most pronounced.
