Key facts
| Ages | K-12 |
|---|---|
| Location | unconfirmed; admissions/main office address found is 1 Technology Dr., Bldg. I, Ste. 811, Irvine, CA (per CDE record), which is roughly 30-40 miles from South Bay; unclear if this is a public-facing site or admin-only, and unclear if it's tied to this CDS code or the Warner-authorized one |
| Cost | unconfirmed; excelacademy.education/enroll/ confirms 'Instructional Funds: Yes' but states no dollar figure on the page fetched (as of 2026-09-17) |
| Schedule | Not confirmed |
| Enroll window | Rolling, first-come-first-served; 2026-27 applications opened March 2, 2026. The school's site currently says it has reached waitlist status across all counties (interest-list only, no open seats). Its own Lottery Policy PDF ("5065-EA") states next year's open-enrollment window runs March 1-April 15 with a random drawing June 1, though that policy's adoption date is unconfirmed. |
| Application deadline | No fixed deadline; first-come-first-served until waitlist status hits. Based on the 2026-27 opening date and the charter's lottery policy, the 2027-28 window likely opens around early March 2027 (inferred, not confirmed). |

What stands out
- Authorizer: Excel Academy operates at least two separate charter entities with different authorizers: this one (Helendale Elementary SD, San Bernardino County; qualifies under PM decision #2) and a second CDS code (37754160139386) authorized by Warner Unified School District, San Diego County (does not qualify). A search-engine summary claimed the Helendale entity covers 'Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties', which is not independently confirmed on Excel's own site.
