![]() ![]() The original purpose of a Magnet school was politically not to innovate in instructional approach solely but rather to create a school that would be so attractive, it would “attract” students to attend it rather than having to force students to bus to other schools to promote academic desegregation of students. So they had to do two things:ġ) open their enrollment geographically across traditional school zones andĢ) provide an environment or experience that would attract students and families from other school zones (thereby families would volunteer to desegregate their children to the Magnet school). ![]() The school was intended to “attract” students from across different school zones. Magnet schools first came into being in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a tool to further academic desegregation. Magnet schools differ from other public schools in that they receive additional funding to enable them to spend more money on their students, supplies, teachers, programs, etc. There are also public schools that aren’t Magnet schools which still offer fine academic experiences. A school doesn’t have to be a Magnet school to be a Montessori School. For example, you might find a Montessori Magnet school. Distinguishing them from other public schools, Magnet schools usually have alternative or otherwise compelling modes of instruction. They differ from Charter schools in that they remain part of the public school system bureaucratically. Magnet schools are different from private or parochial schools in that they remain part of the public school system. The point of them is that they usually have something special to offer over a regular school which makes attending them an attractive choice to many students, thereby increasing the diversity of the student population within them. With Magnet schools, the public school system has created schools that exist outside of zoned school boundaries. Students mostly go to the school which they are closest to (this may not always be true since boundaries can seem arbitrary). Usually students are zoned into their schools based on location.
