Apply to Our Magnet Program
-
Magnet schools at the elementary, middle and high school level allow students to explore areas of interest like STEM, fine arts, foreign languages, etc. The themes are paired with a traditional curriculum.
Through the magnet application process, which is available online, a student can apply to attend certain schools regardless of whether they fall within their designated school zone. At magnet schools where there are more applicants than spots, the district uses a random lottery system to ensure equity.
