In a 2022 Pew Research poll, 69% of parents were worried about the chance of a school shooting happening at their child’s school. Other studies have found that 44% of parents are worried about general safety at their child’s school, and 27% of K-12 students are unsatisfied with the state of public education.

Or maybe you’re in an interview for your first job, and you find yourself answering all of the questions with one-word answers. And then there are the awkward social situations like spending hours at your grandparents’ anniversary party wearing uncomfortable clothes, but instead of participating and talking to guests, you choose to sit in a corner scrolling on your phone.

7 Successful People Who Finished High School Later In Life

March 15, 2023 by Excel High School

Life can throw you some interesting curveballs, and when those curveballs come flying at you when you’re young, you’re a lot less likely to be able to handle them with the same poise as you could when you’re an adult. Rather than knocking that ball out of the park, it can knock you flat on your back. One of the unfortunate results of those life surprises is that young people struggling to stay on track end up dropping out of school. Life happens, and the struggles of your youth can still impact you today as an adult.

Excel High School is a great school! My daughter was in another online high school last year, but she was not challenged and was not being prepared for college.

Since starting this year at Excel, she is being fully challenged in honors courses. My daughter told me the other day, "mom, I have never had to work so hard in school". We love you Excel High School and Anna will be with you until she graduates next year.
