Summary:
The Excel Center for Adult Learners serves 1,285 students in grades 9-12 as a public charter high school. This analysis focuses solely on this single institution, providing a detailed look at its performance and characteristics.
Despite a strong graduation rate of 88.4%, the Excel Center For Adult Learners faces significant academic challenges. Notably, the school reports a concerning 0% proficiency in SAT/Mathematics for 11th graders, a stark contrast to the Indiana state average of 25.2%. Similarly, SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing proficiency stands at 18.18%, well below the state average of 51.8%. These low test scores are compounded by a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which can hinder student progress. The school's spending per student is $3,967, which is lower than many public charter schools, and 63.04% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a student population with significant economic needs.
Historical data further highlights areas for improvement, with the Excel Center For Adult Learners consistently ranking very low among Indiana high schools in recent years, receiving zero SchoolDigger stars for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic years. While the school successfully graduates its students, the extremely low performance in standardized math tests and below-average reading and writing scores, coupled with high absenteeism and lower per-student spending, suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to enhance academic outcomes, particularly in foundational subjects.
