Summary:
The Excelsior Charter District list includes one school: Excelsior Charter, serving grades 7–12 and 2,170 students. With no other schools in the area list, families cannot compare local campuses, but can consider the school’s results alongside California’s. The most important academic finding is that all three 2025–2026 proficiency results were below the state’s, with the widest gap in math.
Excelsior Charter is both the highest- and lowest-ranked school in this one-school group by default. Compared with California in 2025–2026, its proficiency was 39% in English language arts, 25% in math and 29% in science; the state results were 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. The school was 10 percentage points below the state in English, 13 points below in math and 7 points below in science, making science its closest subject to the state benchmark. Other reported outcomes were more favorable than state figures: graduation was 89% versus 88%, dropout was 6% versus 8%, and chronic absenteeism was 0% versus 18%.
Results improved in every subject from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, most notably in science: proficiency rose 9 points there, compared with 2 points each in English and math. The gaps with California narrowed by 6 points in science, 2 in English and 1 in math, although results remained below state levels. SchoolDigger ranked the school 1,036th of 2,137 statewide, at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 43rd percentile and 2 stars the prior year. Context figures include a student–teacher ratio of 22.9 in 2024–2025 and 72% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these describe the school, but the available data do not support comparisons with similar local schools.
