FAQ's
How will I know if my child is accepted?
Applicants will be notified by mail of acceptance or waiting pool status.
What if my child is in a waiting pool?Students in a waiting pool MUST reapply each year until accepted into a Magnet Program. However, if there are students in the first waiting pool, those students will be assigned to available slots first.
Can my child apply to any Magnet Program?
Yes, as long as he or she meets the entrance requirements.
Can my child apply to any Center of Excellence Program?
Yes, as long as he or she demonstrates an interest, takes at least one course in the area of interest, and maintains the retention requirements.
Will my child lose any credits already earned?
No. Magnet Programs enhance the education your child has already received.
What if my child is already enrolled in a Magnet/Center of Excellence Program?
Students currently enrolled do NOT need to reapply for that program. Students must apply for the nextbuilding level school (elementary to middle; middle to high).
In order to remain in a Magnet Program, students must maintain the requirements listed in the student/parent contract.
