Excellence Charter School is just that...Excellence. So sad that when people can't run things they are insulted. This school is successful because the leaders that conceived it and manage it had a mission. That mission is put into action every day and in every aspect of the learning process for our

The field trips given are enough...4-5 trips per year. Keep in mind this is a Charter School which means it is a choice. If you do not want to believe it is a good school... move on.

Recently a demerit system has been implemented that I personally find to defeat the purpose for which it was intended. However, I've been trained enough to know that I don't dare fight it...I just don't stress my son with it.
