The Excel Center

I am not pleased with the leadership of Ms. Payne, the principle. She has structured the school into a "quiet zone" which does not allow the students the opportunity to express themselves. Would not recommend this school or principle.

In 2003 this was an excellent school under principal Yolanda Jordan. It is currently closed down due to low enrollment since 2009

This is school is in total disarray! My daughter attended this school for 2 years and in this time I saw things I should never see within school walls the teachers are only dedicated to students they "like" and many other students fall by the way side. My daughter struggled socially in this school which she has never done. The principal was obsessed with apperances. Tuition is inflated and the quality of education in this school is poor. If possible please take your little angels someplace else.

I am so pleased with my grandchildren's progress at Charjean. The entire staff is pretty awesome. We plan on going to school here til graduation in 2024 and 2026. Thank you Charjean for your help in raising these kids. Donna Ball-Sanders.

I was hired to be the bqnd director but on day one was told the posistion was for general music and got push back when I brought up the posistion information that stated they were hiring for a band director. They said they want a band but need to get kids interested in it first before developing the program so wanted a general music teacher instead. The school is also disserving students because they do not have sped resources for the overwhelming majority of students who require more assistance than they can get from a normal classroom. Students at this school are not held accountable for their behavior which is reflected in their test scores because the majority of the time they are running the halls and vandalising school property along with disrupting other teachers classrooms. The administration has the attitude that puts students at risk later in life because they are not developing a sense of accountability to do the right thing on theirbown without coxing. Being rewarded in food and candy for just going into a classroom most days.

This is by far the worse school my daughter ever attended. She has complained about teachers inappropriate behaviors as well other students bullying her and eachother. Also, my daughter was trying out for the majorette's team. I was told to pick her up at a certain time after school that day. Well, try outs was cancelled and one of the school staff's did not allow my daughter to notify me nor did anyone else notify of the cancellation. Because of their unprofessional, inconsiderate decision, my daughter had to walk home during heavy rains. I was highly upset. I immediately called the school and got no answer. I feel like the school staff do not have a passion for their jobs because otherwise they would assure that these kids are safe and taught properly.
