The Museum Studies theme provides children new ways to showcase their work and progress through student-designed displays that result in quarterly Exhibit Openings for parents and community members. Field trips to museums and galleries expand awareness of the many cultural resources available throughout the city. Teachers develop learning modules that align with district and state standards in mathematics, literacy, social studies, science, art, music and technology.
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.
