Excelsior Charter

Excelsior Charter is a high school in Victorville, CA that enrolls 2,180 students in grades 7-12, putting it among the larger public campuses in the Excelsior Charter District. That headcount is above the 2,180-student average for schools in the district.

EDFacts assessment data puts 51% of students at or above grade level in combined math and reading, a little above the national midpoint where roughly half of tested students clear the bar. That tracks the 51% district average closely, within a few points either way. Against the 45% California statewide average, the school sits 6 points higher.

The district proficiency rate this school inherits has held roughly steady over the last three reported years. As a high school, it reports a 76% adjusted-cohort graduation rate, the share of first-time ninth-graders who earn a regular diploma within four years.

The student-teacher ratio is 26.0 to 1, near the high end of the national distribution; NCES counts every certified teacher, so this figure includes specialists as well as classroom staff. 63% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a majority-low-income enrollment. It is a charter school and receives Title I federal funding, a poverty-based designation rather than a quality marker.
