Preparing students to succeed

Excel hosts an average of 450 people annually from around the country, primarily other educators, who come to observe our schools in action. These visits are part of a collaborative effort to share best practices in academics and operations.

Excel is a public school district and therefore a majority of our budget is covered by the state’s per-pupil reimbursement. However, Excel raises private money while in growth mode. In 2015, Excel raised over $3.5 million to support the growth of our organization and our new high school building.

Excel Academy is a network of tuition-free charter public schools. Students are admitted through a blind public lottery. Every year, over 1,250 students apply to attend our schools.

Each year, over 2,000 people apply to work at our schools, making Excel an employer of choice for passionate, hard-working, idealistic people who want to have an impact on young people.
