Magnet Schools
Magnet schools are free public elementary and secondary schools of choice that are operated by the school district. Magnet schools have a focused theme and aligned curricula in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) for example. Diversity is an important element of a magnet school. Since student interest in a theme is the only eligibility criteria to attend a magnet school, students from a wide array of backgrounds attend magnet schools. As a result, magnet schools promote higher level cognitive and social learning. Magnet schools make the extra effort to create a sense of classroom and school community and cultivate school spirit. Curriculum is also clear and transparent for families so they can more fully engage in the learning of their students.
