Magnet Program
A school site where the magnet theme is implemented within the school, but not all students participate. Students apply to the program and are accepted based on a lottery system. Some magnet programs may have established criteria for entry. Examples of current magnet programs are Cambridge secondary programs and IB high school programs.
Magnet School
A school site where the magnet theme is implemented school-wide. All students attending the school participate in the thematic learning components of the program. Students who live outside of the attendance boundary must complete an application and a lottery system is used to determine which student applicants will attend the school. Examples of current magnet schools are SAES (Cambridge), NWES (Cambridge), CENMS (STEM), BPMS (STEM), PVMS (IB), and PVES (IB).
Dedicated Magnet School
A school site that implements a magnet theme or themes across all grades and does not have a defined attendance boundary, but may have a preference area. All students who wish to attend the school must apply for and be accepted in the school through the Student Application lottery process. All students enrolled in a magnet school must participate in the magnet program(s) theme. The district, through the magnet boundary review process, will determine whether a magnet school will or will not have a preference area. Current examples: WKTHS and SMES
New Academy, Program or Concept without Magnet Status
A school site where the academy or program is available within the school but not all students participate. Students may need to apply to the program based on requirements. Parents may exercise their School Choice privileges in order to attend the school that houses the program. Current examples: CTE programs, Fine Arts, Blended, etc.
