“At this school, classes in the advanced sciences are generally assumed.
The district opened its new STEM school this year as a way to help reduce
overcrowding. The $24 million school was still under construction in the
fall, so the students were housed at Eastlake.
The building, located adjacent to Alcott Elementary just off state Route 202
, is still partially under construction, but enough is finished so the
students have been going to class there since Jan. 3.
The school is a magnet program, admitting students from across the district
on a lottery basis, 150 per grade. This year, only ninth and 10th graders
are in the school. As the students age, it will add 11th graders next year
and 12th graders the following year for a total enrollment of 600 students.”
Advanced classes
Some 10th grade students are already earning college credits, said Ganesan
as she showed off jars with little sea creatures in a biology laboratory.
“They really encourage you to take the advanced classes,” she said.
The school will ultimately offer 10 Advanced Placement classes, Duenas said.
Advanced Placement classes feature a college-level curriculum and at the
end of the year students take a comprehensive exam on the topic which earns
them a score from one to five. Typically, students who get a three or higher
on the exam earn college credit for the class. |
