The graduation rate was 29.1%, compared with 89.7% statewide and a nearby median of 95.1%; Indiana Gateway Alternative School was 53.3%, while Clarksville Senior High School was 95.5%. Test scores are also far below state and nearby traditional high schools: SAT Reading/Writing was 20% (state 51.9%), SAT Math was 0% (state 25.6%), and Biology ILEARN End of Course was 20% in 2023-2024 (state 43.6%); a 2025-2026 Biology value is not available. Context: 61.7% qualified for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending was $3,912, and the student-teacher ratio was 32.9—all far from nearby norms.

Bottom line: Excel Center - Clarksville is an outlier even among alternative and lower-performing comparison schools. Its graduation rate has improved from 11.1% in 2020-2021 to 29.1% in 2024-2025, but it remains about one-third of the state rate.

The school serves a high-need population with very low per-student spending and a high student-teacher ratio. Its most urgent signals are near-universal chronic absenteeism, a graduation rate around 29%, SAT math at 0%, and bottom-decile performance overall.
