About Our School
Ekstrand is a School-wide Title I and received California Distinguished School in 2013. There are approximately 435 students from the downtown area as well as many from outside the San Dimas boundaries. The students here come from a variety of mixed backgrounds and speak approximately 14 different languages at home, with Spanish being the dominant home language. Ekstrand provides academic interventions through the RTI process to all students not meeting grade level standards. This is provided through grade-level data meetings to identify students for intervention classes using brain-researched curriculum to assist the student in annual growth. Once students are identified they are provided additional instruction in small groups, and individual tutoring provided by well-trained instructional aides and teachers. Curriculums implemented are: Read Naturally Program, SIPPS, SPIRE, Benchmark Advance and Benchmark Advance Intervention.
Ekstrand has continued to use Reflex Math, Imagine Learning online reading program, a comprehensive and multi-level math software program in our computer lab, and Accelerated Reading and math. We offer clubs at school such as coding class, technology, and track.
The school has one, Makerspace and a library that also provides four internet accessible research stations. All students receive instruction in choral music on a weekly basis as well as P.E.
The Options Pre-School Program located on the northside of our campus. We continue to benefit from the partnership which has been developed with them.
