The school serves students from third grade through twelfth grade with an enrollment of 94 students and a student-teacher ratio of 11.8:1, ensuring that each student receives individual attention. EXCEL has eight full-time equivalent teachers who work diligently to support the academic needs of their students.

According to MySchoolScout’s rating system, EXCEL scores a 3.6 out of 10 overall and ranks in the 9th percentile among Ohio schools with an academic score of 1.2 out of 10. In terms of proficiency rates, only 7% of students are proficient or above in both ELA/Reading and Math across all grades. While EXCEL has room for growth academically, it is situated in a large suburban area that offers a variety of resources and community support for its students.

With an enrollment of 94 students, Excel is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Excel is a virtual school, meaning instruction is delivered primarily online. Virtual schools offer flexibility but require strong self-discipline and a reliable home learning environment. Parents should consider whether their child thrives with independent, technology-based learning and ask about the school's approach to student engagement and support.
