GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have had some of the most amazing and dedicated teachers and staff I have ever seen help me through my high school journey at Excelsior and I truly cannot describe how lucky I am to have gone there. The community is incredible and I love the place.

Excelsior Charter School is a great school. The thing I like best about this school is that each student's schedule is personalized to their needs. Additionally, there are no in person classes on Mondays. I have had an amazing experience at excelsior and have experienced nothing negative. There are many activities to be involved in throughout the school year which I love.

This school has a D grade and has not met growth for 2023, which is consistent with prior years of poor performance and not meeting growth. It is a historically poor performing school that somehow avoids scrutiny by the state. This school stays open only because of North Durham parents who want to s...
