The difference is that students, parents and teachers in our school district don t have choice. Students learn in different ways. Create a learning environment that emphasizes a child s aptitudes and interests, and her performance will improve in other areas as well. Our children aren t failing our schools, our schools are failing our children. Magnet schools can reduce or eliminate that failure.
Most magnets emphasize a subject matter theme.
Everything from aerospace to music and the arts, dual language immersion to math and science. Some are career-based. We might offer a year-round magnet. Two-thirds are whole school magnets where all students participate. Others are programs within schools.
