Billy Moore

Size

Billy Moore is the 2nd largest of The Excel Center (For Adults)'s 7 high schools; its 140 students are 11.7% of district enrollment. The 8 nearest high schools are a median 7.8 miles away and have a median of 406 students, so Billy Moore is smaller than most of them.

NCES lists it as an alternative school: one that serves students whose needs a regular school may not meet, or that offers a non-traditional program alongside regular schools. As a charter school it is publicly funded and charges no tuition, but it is run under a charter rather than directly by a local school board.
