There are over 130 magnet programs located in centers all over the district, from San Pedro High's Marine Science Magnet to Sylmar High's Math Science Tech in the San Fernando Valley. This directory lists the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of magnet schools, what grade levels are included, and how many openings are available for the coming year. The application form is included, and it must be returned by mid-January. Magnet selection is based on a priority point system. Newcomers to the Los Angeles area may apply to a magnet school after the official deadline, but the school of choice will be filled first with names of students who submitted their applications on time.
Some magnets have openings after the school year begins.
