ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Elementary school magnets offer outstanding STEM/STEAM, Communications/Performing Arts and International Baccalaureate programs of study. Elementary magnet schools are interest-based and there are no specific admission requirements to attend. All of our elementary magnet schools are whole school magnets meaning that all students that attend those schools have applied and were chosen by the lottery to attend. Students that live within the designated magnet transportation zone of the school that they choose will receive transportation.
