  • 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 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.
