Magnet Schools

Magnet schools are public schools that offer specialized curriculums focused on specific subjects, such as science, technology, arts, or music, to attract a diverse student body from various neighborhoods. Unlike traditional schools that serve students based on geographic zones, magnet schools provide unique educational experiences and engage students with particular interests or talents. They aim to promote academic excellence, foster creativity, and often encourage integration by drawing students from different backgrounds. Admission can be competitive, usually involving an application process that may include interviews or auditions, depending on the school's focus.
