Summary

Excel Center - Shelbyville is a public charter high school in Shelbyville, Indiana, serving 157 students in grades 9-12. Unfortunately, this school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is particularly concerning, with students scoring in the bottom 5-10% of Indiana high schools in key areas like reading, writing, and math. Graduation rates have ranged from just 29.8% to 88.4% in recent years, well below the state average. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, with rates as high as 92.4%.

Despite the school's struggles, its per-student spending has ranged from $3,266 to $5,143 over the past few years, which is lower than the spending at many of the nearby higher-performing schools. The student-teacher ratio at Excel Center - Shelbyville has also been higher than the ratios at the nearby schools, ranging from 11.3 to 22.4. Addressing these resource and staffing challenges, as well as the underlying instructional and attendance issues, will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for the students at this school, which is part of the Excel Center - Shelbyville District.
