This school is decent enough. If you have special needs children, they still have a ways to go. The moral focus is good, but the kids do not exemplify these to those around them. No inclusion of the special needs kids by the other kids or encouragement of that by the teachers..Academics are good.

I love Excel Charter Academy. I have 2 daughters who are 6 and 8 years old. They both like their school and their teachers. Excel has the most diverse cultural students and friendly environment for my girls to growth and learn.

Amazing...a true treasure to parents who want private school education but can't afford it! This school is beyond all expectations. The teachers are involved and engaged . The principal is a true leader. The diversity is just what I was looking for. It models the real world.

I am an alumni from this school, The teachers will make no effort to help your student. If you aren't a very "religious christian" the staff in the office will talk about you behind your back. If your student struggles with certain subjects, unless they're in need of special education, they will make no effort to help them to acheive. Instead, they will tell you at conferences how poorly your child is doing and they'll speak to you as if they have done everything that they can to help them when they havent. The dress code is absolutely rediculous, if your child wears a skirt or any type of shorts that go more than 3 inches above the knee (they measure with a sticky note) they will either send them home, or make them change into some other clothes they have laying around in a bag. The science fair projects that they'll make your child do are too advanced for 5th-8th graders. Don't get me wrong, only 2 of the teachers I've liked there, the rest of them have no sympathy. I believe one year, a students father died or something like that & they made school end an hour early for a student I didnt even know to be able to go to the funeral, but if it was your child who has just experienced a death in the family they would expect your child to be in school no matter what. I understand that there is a long waiting list to get into this school, but honestly it's not worth it. They also claim to prepare your child for a high school carreer when nothing that they have taught me has prepared me for high school at all. Enroll at your own risk.
