Abstract: The Conversion Magnet 

Schools Evaluation studies the impact 

of federally funded elementary magnet 

schools on the academic achievement of 

students who attend them, and on 

minority group isolation in the schools. 

The first phase of the study investigates 

the feasibility of conducting rigorous 

research using experimental or quasiexperimental designs to explore the 

impact of the magnet programs on 

students who attend them as their 

neighborhood schools and on students 

from other neighborhoods who compete 

in lotteries for admission. Collection 

and analysis of student data will 

proceed if rigorous studies are found to 

be feasible. The evaluation will inform 

policymakers and researchers on the 

effectiveness of magnet schools as an 

educational approach and a type of 

school choice.
