No mention of AVID and college preparation.  Heavy college prep even thought taking college classes.
AVID for people who need those skills for success but many SOAR students who get accepted already have those skills.  This is redundant.
Parent: " I also believe a word similar to disciplined or rigor, challenging or something similar should be added because I have seen what my daughters has on her plate the past 3 years so far and it is a lot more than when my son went through high school.

SOAR does its best to help students and they feel like teachers and staff actually care.

Goal-oriented! Many of our teachers encourage us to set meaningful goals and students are very driven to achieve them. The SOAR culture motivates students to perform at their best and challenges us in a way that allows us to grow immensely. The variety of opportunities outside of STEM should be mentioned as well. because going into SOAR I was not aware of the numerous classes or programs, involving law or music for example, that were available to us.

As a senior "I haven't taken one class in engineering; I've taken anatomy, biology, and chemistry."
"When we go over classes for college, they talk about IGETC classes not engineering or other STEM; we get pushed more towards the AA and don't branch out to other interests."
STEM Research is not open to everyone since the class fills up to quickly.
For flexibility the IGETC certification is the push, but students should be allowed to branch out as well.

We are a diverse school - underrepresented. Make it clearer that you do not have to get an AA degree. Make it clearer that students do not have to major in STEM.

The phrase "by compressing the number of years to complete a college degree" is unclear. SOAR is about gaining college experience and some view this statement as a requirement for obtaining an AA degree. Others see it as misleading because some college don't take those units (Harvard for instance) so you're not really ahead.

- "who may be high potential but low performing in the traditional educational system." Although some of my classmates considered themselves "low achieving" during middle school, the majority were high achieving/preforming. But I understand that perhaps this wouldn't have continued to be the case at a traditional highschool?

It makes it sound like  these are problem type students.   Instead maybe instead say students who may be high potential but unable to reach that higher potential in a traditional educational system"
"Success in college" defined as getting a degree or getting a solid career; how can there be success if we are still attending?

We have an amazing STEM program yet through the statement “emphasis in mathematics, science, and engineering,” soar begins to seem like a STEM school. However, a majority of students are interested in outer fields such as law, art, etc. The statement should mention that SOAR is here to support any future goals, which can then highlight the emphasis on STEM.

Good community of support, teachers want to help their students.
"Flexible" counselors helps with schedules for AVC and SOAR and allow breaks between classes.
SOAR covers cost for community college classes and textbooks.  Teachers available to get materials to help students to succeed.
Parent: I do love the emphasis on the ECHS initiative. That was a huge factor for me when wanting my daughter to apply to SOAR.
