The LAUSD Magnet program is a voluntary integration program. From kindergarten through 12th grade, Magnet students pursue academic interests in special environments for learning. Each Magnet school offers a subject specialty or special teaching approaches. Magnet students are selected randomly by computer based on LAUSD and court-approved guidelines, ethnic balance, and available space in each program.
Transportation is provided to Magnet students outside of a 5-mile radius from Palms. See Magnet Transportation.
Magnet enrollment is controlled by the LAUSD Office of Student Integration Services. Further information can be found at the LAUSD Magnet Program website.
Consider attending the annual Choices Fair, where LAUSD invites parents to learn about magnet schools and the magnet program.
