Excel High School

The stars are for the convenience and price. The setting up of classes and required courses was not explained well and was quite frankly a waste of time. Such a regret and will not recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful school. Helped my daughter every step of the way. Always very responsive to questions. Definitely care about their students. Lori is great.

Excel High School provided a great education and provided excellent customer service for any glitches.

I am very pleased with the wonderful self paced program at Excel High School. My daughter was in recovery the past year from a serious illness, and she had to work at her own pace over an extended period of time. The staff went above and beyond to meet her educational needs with kindness and compassion. We will be ever grateful to Excel High School for their support during a really difficult period. I highly recommend this school, as a wonderful self paced, flexible program to meet the specific needs of students, who are unable to attend school or are self driven and want to learn independently from home.

That you all does an amazing job and is very helpful and very compatible on making sure that we all succeed you are a Super Fantastic School ????
Most of all, I want to Thank a special person who always been by mYou'rede Mrs. Nakia she's also does an amazing job with everyone.??
Thank you all for this great opportunity??
(Your a STAR?)

So, I enrolled a few months ago. I started the adult program $99/monthly. In real life I had made it to 11th grade and have partial credits for that. Upon enrollment they gave me 6 classes, physical science, public speaking, Math, US government, health and fitness and music appreciation which was more like theory. This was all done before they even received my transcripts. When they go my transcripts they added 5 more classes. And they promote “at your own pace”. Anyways that’s 11 full courses. I have a job and family(kids). And I wasn’t looking for an easy way out. But that is a lot of work. At my pace, 3 hours a day, it would take me a year or so to finish all the classes. That’s a lot of money to them. Anyways I opted out and cut my losses. I suppose I’ll find a GED program. And! I hate music theory. It’s not my thing. Good luck!

My daughter started in December 2019 and she has loved it ever since. I love it. I actually work for a company that offers online curriculum I can use for free and I don't. I would rather pay for top notch curriculum this school offers and I love the school. My daughter struggled learning before I sign her up at Excel and the teachers break things so efficiently that she is retaining all the info she learns. She is in 6th right now and she will graduate from this school because we are not leaving.

My children have been attending Excel for the past 2 years and it has been amazing. They are thriving in Honors courses and very happy with the selection of electives that you can not get in a brick and mortar school. The staff is always so helpful too.

Excellent customer service. Easy to sign up. User-friendly interface.

Excel is limited on classes they accept for credit transfer. While you may be on track in your state they will say they don’t accept the classes you took and force you take more classes to catch up so your tuition is not what they advertise.
Despite listing each class with a weight for quizzes,papers, and an exam it is not correct. It is actually a complete lie. If you pass the exam you pass the class, if you fail the exam you fail the class. All the work you did on the quizzes and papers were pointless. You can have an A all the way through but mess up the exam. In regular school it would even out, not at excel. At excel you fail the class.
There are no books or lectures, but you have to keep notes so you have to cobble them together from the quizzes. They are notorious for having one line about a person and then having 3-4 exam questions about them. When you challenge them on an incorrect exam questions they ignore you.
The platform is not easy to use for the math and science program. When we told them the platform for honors was better why would they have two different ones they pretty much told us to just pay more and we could have the better platform for our non honors classes.
A good program would have an intuitive program for all classes not just honors.
I have never met a more combative assistant director as I did in Tim. I pointed out how he was constantly contradicting himself in his own emails to us but his only was too bad, I make the rules.

I ABSOLUTELY would recommend Excel High School to any family looking for a complete, quality educational experience for their children and/or themselves! My son was struggling in public school and, to make matters even more stressful, having to deal with the increasingly challenging restrictions put on the students and teachers from the State Testing Requirements. So halfway through my son's Junior year, I searched out a school that would give him a quality education, while not adding unnecessary pressure to finish his high school education, and allowing him to securely learn at his own pace. That, and more, is precisely what Excel High gave my son once admitted into their Honors Diploma High School program. And, as a parent, I truly received "Top Star" customer service, assistance and support from Excel High; particularly from the wonderfully competent Lori Applegate! My son, our family and I are now a proud Alumni Excel High family and will forever be proud of that! THANK YOU EXCEL HIGH AND LORI!!!!!

My son, a high school senior, has been taking full course classes with Northgate during his summer, and will continue on with two during his regular school year to reduce pressure, anxiety, stress in his school day at brick and mortar. He can discontinue brick and mortar and stay in Northgate Academy/Excel fulltime without any trouble also. He was able to whiz through his math course and one elective in a matter of weeks at times that worked for him. I wish we had been aware of Northgate all along for full time use. He would have been graduated a year early. We are advocating with his private high school to partner with Northgate/Excel to bring their advantages to all students. The ability to reach someone right away has been great. If your child says his courses aren't downloaded, he's probably right, follow up with the school they will correct the problem.

This school allowed me to live a stress free life, and graduate earlier than expected!!

This advanced curriculum teachers you that hard work and determination are the keys to your future. I feel very appreciative leaving prepared to achieve my goals.

I really like the new update they have had! It's a lot more modern and easier to use. It will help you stay on track for the year and will help you have a fun summer break.

As a student, I can personally say that even high school students can benefit immensely bu enrolling with Excel High School, the challenge is still evident throughout courses and the curriculum adheres to state-specific standards. The full access that the diploma grants you, the same access as a traditional brick-and-mortar high school, is virtually unheard of outside of Excel. Specifically, Lori A is a tremendous aide throughout your high school experience, helping evert student with their problems and listening to and assisting the students along the way. Never have had a better schooling experience and Excel is most definitely the greatest in the field of online education. 10/10. Nothing less.

Great school! We are international travelers due to work requirements and this has been perfect for my daughter. Ms. A always went above and beyond in helping us to get her enrolled and sign up for her classes each semester.

This school tells everyone that they are accredited Nationally and in every state, but they are not recognized in the state of Texas. Their website says they have a money back guarantee if a college won't accept their diploma, but they are refusing to refund the money. They told us they knew about a problem with the diplomas prior to 2012 and offered to let student retake the program now, but it doesn't matter because the school is still not recognized in Texas, and who has time to spend another year on another program? This place misleads students. There are only certain states where they are accredited and this comes from their own website:
Scope of recognition: the accreditation and preaccreditation ("Candidacy status") of schools offering non-degree, postsecondary education in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and in the Navajo Nation.
Title IV Note: Only those vocational/technical schools accredited by this agency that offer non-degree, postsecondary education may use that accreditation to establish eligibility to participate in Title IV programs.
Title IV programs are FAFSA!
Beware of using this school for your High School diploma.

I have 2 children who use Excel High School and just started in Fall of 2018. They find the work challenging but manageable. The platform is easy to manage and the video lectures are targeted to the objectives. They have always been good students but find the on-line experience much more enjoyable and feel that they are learning more than in a brick and mortar school. Additionally, when we need assistance with school work or with office needs, they respond in less than 24 hours. The support team makes the process smooth. As a former educator, I highly recommend this on-line learning system.

I enrolled in the school last week and they have Amazing Staff and the courses are very informative and the textbooks online help so much. I love that you can call anytime and someone will help you . So far so good with this online school...
