Excel Center - Shelbyville

Summary:

Excel Center - Shelbyville is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Shelbyville, Indiana, with a relatively small student population of 141 students. However, the school has consistently struggled with low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and poor academic performance compared to nearby public high schools like Shelbyville Senior High School, Edinburgh Community High School, and Hauser Junior-Senior High School.

Over the past few years, the racial makeup of Excel Center - Shelbyville's student body has shifted, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in Hispanic students. However, the school still lacks racial diversity, with White students making up the majority of the student body at 70.21% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 61.49% to 75.18% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

The data analysis of Excel Center - Shelbyville reveals a school that is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. The school's low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 15.1% to 29.8% over the past five years, are significantly lower than the nearby public high schools, which have graduation rates above 90%. The school has also experienced extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 92.4% in 2021-2022, and very low academic performance, with only 7.41% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing in 2021-2022, compared to the Indiana state average of 50.51%. These challenges suggest that the school faces significant obstacles in supporting student success, and addressing these issues should be a priority for the school and its Shelbyville Central Schools district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
