Excel Program
Saint Paul Public Schools
In fall 2001, the Saint Paul Public Schools launched the Excel
program as an alternative to merely retaining students in the same
classroom and program in which they did not succeed the first time.
The Excel program is an intensive 15-month experience for students
who have completed grades 3, 5, and 8 but have not met the requirements
for promotion to the next grade. Excel is designed to provide these
students with specific help to enable them to rejoin their peers
the next fall.
This report describes the implementation of the Excel
program and looks at achievement of Excel students through the school
year 2001-2002.
