Summary:
There is only one high school located in the Excel Center - Hammond area, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 176 students. Excel Center - Hammond is a public charter high school with a mixed performance profile. While the school boasts an 88.4% four-year graduation rate, its academic achievement, as measured by standardized test scores, lags behind the state averages in both reading/writing and mathematics.
The school faces some operational challenges, with a higher-than-recommended student-teacher ratio of 17.6 and lower spending per student at $4,789, which may impact the resources available to support student learning. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which could be an area for improvement. However, the school serves a population with a significant proportion (44.89%) of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may contribute to the academic performance challenges.
Despite these challenges, the school's relatively high graduation rate suggests that there are positive aspects to the educational experience. With targeted interventions and resource allocation, the school may be able to improve academic performance and address areas of concern, ultimately providing a more well-rounded educational experience for the students it serves.
