Summary

Excelsior Charter School Corona-Norco is a small school in Corona, California, serving 133 students in grades 7–12; among the nine nearby schools in the comparison, only one has fewer students. Its academic results vary by subject: English is near the state average overall, science has improved, and math is substantially weaker.

Compared with nearby schools, Excelsior’s strongest all-grades result is science: 33% proficient, above the nearby-school average of 31%, but below the state’s 36% and the 41% reported by Corona-Norco Unified.

Overall English proficiency is 48%, close to but just below the state’s 49% and slightly above the nearby-school average.

Results have changed unevenly over time. Science rose from 19% in 2022–23 to 33% in 2025–26, while English improved modestly across those years but swung from 54% to 37% before recovering to 48%. SchoolDigger ranked Excelsior at the 62nd statewide percentile in 2025–26, up from the 37th percentile the year before, and awarded it 3 stars.
