A magnet school is a type of public school with a specific curricular focus while remaining a part of the local public school system. Magnet schools first emerged in the 1960s to racially desegregate schools and allow for more diversity in classrooms. These schools were designed based on offering students an alternative education extensively focused on a particular area of interest to draw students from several school districts.
Today, magnet schools in the United States are created around core principles: family and community partnerships, high-quality instructional systems, academic excellence, diversity, and innovative curriculum, and professional development. Is the Education Better at Magnet Schools vs. Traditional Public Schools? Additionally, Magnet schools’ specialized programs and mission of excellence in education depend heavily on additional funding from local, state, and federal sources through grants and donations.
In 2013, the U.S. Department of Education allocated nearly $90 million in special grants to magnet schools throughout the country to increase access to their programs by local families. One of the most noticeable trends involving magnet schools, and one of the reasons for constant complaint against them, is that they tend to attract some of the more ‘gifted’ students away from traditional public schools. As a result, magnet schools maintain an exceptionally high academic achievement, higher rates of attendance and graduation, and more active involvement on the parts of both families and communities.
