Application Deadline for Magnets Delayed
The Los Angeles Unified School District has extended the application deadline for eight new magnet programs until Friday.
Magnet programs, which are aimed at promoting integration and academic enrichment, focus on specific subject areas or on special teaching methods.
They are open to all district students, and admission is based on several factors, including ethnicity and whether a student’s neighborhood school is crowded or racially balanced.
The new programs opening in the fall will be at Allesandro Elementary (cooperative learning) in Northeast Los Angeles, Euclid Elementary (gifted, high ability and bilingual) in East Los Angeles, Teresa Hughes Elementary (math and science) in South-Central Los Angeles, San Miguel Avenue Elementary (math and science) in South Gate, Windsor Hills Elementary (math, science and aerospace) in South Los Angeles, Adams Junior High (high ability and foreign languages) in South-Central Los Angeles, Crenshaw High (high ability and gifted) in South Los Angeles and North Hollywood High (highly gifted).
Parents and students may pick up applications at their local schools or call the district magnet office at 625-4177.
