El Sol Science & Arts Academy Of Santa Ana

Students will develop an appreciation for music instruction and performance. All students perform several times and year and specialized performers, including the rock band, perform at special events outside of school. Students will be able to continue to study music appreciation, after completing the program and advance in high school and at the college level. We have now graduated many students who have gone on to become professional musicians and music educators.

The Extended Day Program supports students that are performing below grade level in areas such as Math and Language Arts. The students are assessed periodically to monitor academic progress. El Sol uses benchmark assessments and state data to assess student growth. The goal of the program is for all students. About 70% of the students are referred by the teacher to exit the intervention classes that are part of the Extended Day program. Students who participated in the extended day program have had significant gains as compared to those students who did not participate.  El Sol works with classrooms teachers and extended day staff to target specific skills that students need in order to make gains on assessments and statewide tests.
