The purpose of magnet schools is to reduce high concentrations of poverty in schools; promote school integration; maximize the use of school facilities and provide innovative educational opportunities. Therefore, WCPSS uses two key factors in the selection process for magnet applications:

• • • • • • • • • • Projected overall socioeconomic status of the school to which that student is assigned for next year. 
                  • Socioeconomic status of the area where the applying student resides.
