My overall experience at Excelsior is very good, they have really good teachers and resources. I really feel like I have grown well at this school. Making great connections and friendships helped throughout my journey. I would like to see change in having more events that everyone feels welcome too.

This school is truly amazing the staff and academic curriculum I think are outstanding and exceeds my expectations when it comes to learning.
