MIDDLE SCHOOL
Middle school magnets offer outstanding STEM/STEAM, Performing Arts/Visual Arts, Communications/Leadership and International Baccalaureate programs of study. Middle school magnets are interest-based and there are no specific admission requirements to attend. There are two different structures of middle school magnets in our district, "school within a school" and "whole school". "School within a school" means that the school has a neighborhood population in addition to the magnet students on its campus. "Whole school" magnets are schools that all students have applied to and were chosen by the lottery to attend that school. Students that live within the designated magnet transportation zone of the school that they choose will receive transportation. Students that attend a magnet can participate in sports offered at that school.
