HIGH SCHOOLS High school magnets offer outstanding STEM, Career and Technical Education, and International Baccalaureate programs of study as well as many other specialized programs. While the majority of the high school programs are interest-based, some do have entrance criteria. (Please visit this link for criteria information.) There are two different structures of high 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.
