Magnet Schools
The Magnet Schools feature various themes and educational approaches that will appeal to a wide range of student backgrounds, interests and competencies. The Magnet Schools foster interaction among students of different social, economics, ethnic, and racial backgrounds in classrooms, extracurricular, or other activities. Our magnet schools are designed to carry out a high quality educational program that will substantially strengthen students’ reading ability and knowledge in such areas as mathematics, science, history, geography, English, foreign languages, fine arts, technology, communications or engineering. In addition, Texas has been in the forefront nationally in promoting the importance of education, and the Aldine Independent School district has gained recognition nationwide for its quality magnet schools.
