Research on achievement of magnet students versus traditional students shows mixed results. Often the margin of difference is extremely low. Obviously some magnet schools have been more successful than others, and many districts have abandoned the magnet programs which were designed many years ago to desegregate school systems and end forced busing in some areas. A successful magnet program requires strong administration, dedicated teachers, and students who want to be a part of the program. The many magnet areas require constant training and updating on the part of the school's faculty and staff.
Magnet schools can be extremely successful, but it takes hard work and dedication to the cause.
Education is an everchanging field, and magnet schools are doing their part in providing innovative educational experiences for their students. This page was edited by David Brasher using Project Poster .
