Magnet School Overview• The integration programs in LAUSD, including Magnets,
were established by Court-Order to address the five
harms of racial isolation:
1. Low Academic Achievement
2. Interracial Hostility and Intolerance
3. Low Self-esteem
4. Overcrowded Conditions
5. Lack of Access to Post-Secondary Opportunities

Magnet Programs
• LAUSD Magnets offer theme-based instructional
opportunities to students living within the
boundaries of LAUSD.
• Some Magnet Programs occupy entire school sites
(full school magnets), while others are Magnet
Centers located on regular school campuses with
access to activities and experiences shared with
the host school.
