Summary

Excel Center - Lafayette is a grade 9–12 high school in Lafayette, IN, serving 366 students as its own district. The accountability data provided place it at the very bottom of Indiana's rankings: its district ranks 373 of 374 (0 stars), and its 2025–26 school rank is 413 of 415 (0th percentile, 0 stars). By contrast, West Lafayette Junior/Senior High School, about two miles away, ranked 5 of 415 (99th percentile, 5 stars) in the same year, and even the lowest-ranked nearby school, Tippecanoe Online Academy, ranked 367 of 415 — still above Excel Center - Lafayette. Its rank history has sat at 0–2nd percentile most years, with brief upticks to 11th percentile in 2023–24 and 10th percentile in 2024–25.

Graduation and attendance figures are the most striking. Excel's graduation rate was 26.2% in 2024–25, versus 87.7%–100.0% among nearby schools and 89.7% statewide. Chronic absenteeism was 96.5% in 2024–25, compared with 16.7% statewide and 6.7%–27.7% among nearby schools. On the SAT in 2025–26, reading and writing proficiency was 6.67% (state 51.9%) and math was 0% (state 25.6%); math was also 0% in the two prior years. The 2025–26 Biology End of Course result is not reported in this data, so science proficiency is unknown. Excel spent $4,417 per student in 2023–24, below every nearby school with reported spending ($10,877–$14,927), and its student-teacher ratio of 24.4 was higher than every nearby school with a reported ratio.

The closest school with similar economic need performs very differently: Jefferson High School, 1.65 miles away, had a 57.98% free/reduced lunch rate versus Excel's 62.02%, but an 87.7% graduation rate, 26.3% chronic absenteeism, 44.64% SAT reading and writing and 17.17% SAT math. Excel's relative effectiveness rankings for student groups are bottom-tier for nearly every group reported, with none reaching the state median.
