I am writing this review to say that the best thing I ever did was send my kid to this school. He started, I think, when he was about 10 years old. He graduated from 12th grade this last week. In my opinion, the teachers, the principle, administrative staff and coach all contributed to his success. My son is well adjusted and well educated and I thank the school for all its help in his success and happiness.

absolutely unprepared for college, the percentage of alumni who actually graduate college is below 20%

I love going to Excel. I love the teachers, the small class sizes, the ability to play sports, and the overall culture at Excel. I also love being able to have a Christian Studies class, where we are able to talk about our faith in a safe setting with our grade level and teachers that really care and know us. They know our stories, and they want to help us write our futures. We do need to have some more challenging classes. We do not have AP, and it's hard to move up a class when there is only one time that they are holding that class and it interferes with another credit you need.

Excel Christian has gone above and beyond this year. Especially with all the difficulty of Covid. They have shown that they put the students and education first. What more needs to be said.

Teachers are awesome! I can't say we had a good experience with the new basketball coach, hoping next yr will be better. Excellent experience overall!

My kids are currently enrolled in this school and have been attending since Pre-K. They are currently in 3rd and 5th grade. This is our last year at this school because they want to go to public school - so we're going to give it a try. What I can say is this - they irritate me with policy changes....

If I could assign them a negative number of stars we would need to increase the size of the field exponentially. This is the worst school I have ever seen in my life. IF they were willing to discuss things openly and honestly, like Sparks Middle School does, THEN I would think more highly of them.
