Utilization of Magnet Schools
The school district strives to have the utilization of all schools between 85% and 105% of their current capacity. The 2011-2012 utilization of each magnet school helps determine the number of new magnet openings a school may offer for the 2012-2013 magnet lottery.
Math, Science/ Pre-Engineering
The Mathematics, Science and Pre-Engineering program goal is to awaken students' interest in science and to produce more scientifically literate adults. Beginning in kindergarten, hands-on project-based science experiences are a major part of the program for all students along with enrichment activities for students and their families. Students participate in relevant activities and experiences, delivered in a student-centered and nurturing environment guided by expert facilitators. Engineering engages students in real-world experiences that enliven mathematics and science concepts. Today's youth are fascinated by technology, computer games, sounds, and music that are grounded in the basic foundations of mathematics and science. This theme bridges these real-world connections for students.
