EXCEL ACADEMY

EXCEL ACADEMY is a Title I public high school that is part of the School District No. 1 in the county of Denver and State of C school district, located in DENVER, CO with about 258 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 13 teachers, EXCEL ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

EXCEL ACADEMY, located on S. Federal Blvd. in Denver, is a public school within the Denver Public Schools (DPS) district. It is widely recognized as an alternative educational setting specifically designed to provide a supportive, flexible, and personalized learning environment for students who may have struggled in traditional high school settings. The school’s primary mission is to help students overcome academic and personal barriers to ensure they stay on track for graduation, often serving those who are credit-deficient or in need of a non-traditional approach to their studies.

The school utilizes a model that emphasizes small class sizes, individualized attention, and a strong focus on student-teacher relationships to foster academic success. By offering a curriculum tailored to meet the specific needs of its diverse student body, EXCEL ACADEMY aims to build the confidence and skills necessary for its students to earn their diplomas and transition successfully into post-secondary education or the workforce. The school is committed to creating a community where every student is provided with the resources and guidance required to reach their full potential despite previous academic challenges.
