Magnet Schools of America is a national collaborative network of magnet schools that provide leadership for innovative instructional programs promoting equity, diversity, and academic excellence for all students in public school choice programs. The schools were selected from a national field of over 2,000 magnet schools based on rigorous criteria that includes innovative instructional strategies, student achievement, diversity goals, and parent and community involvement in the magnet school. As WCPSS proceeds with the Curriculum Management Audit's call to evaluate all programs, the accomplishment of these schools shows the level to which WCPSS magnet programs meet and exceed the national standard for magnet schools.

Magnet Schools in WCPSS will accept applications online from February 8 - 28, 2010. If you have questions, please call 501-7900 or explore our website .
