Choices Timeline

Who can apply to the magnet program?

  • All students living within the boundaries of L.A. Unified are eligible to apply, including English learners, special education, and gifted/talented students.

Do I have to reapply every year?

  • Students who are currently enrolled in a magnet program do not have to reapply unless they want to change schools (this includes promotion to the next school level, such as elementary school to middle school or middle school to high school). If a student remains on a waiting list then the student should reapply.
