Nearly half of all schools in DPS are magnets -- which means an extraordinary number of choices for families and their students. Our magnet schools showcase special programming, small sizes and/or year-round calendars, and operate at all levels from K-12.

 

DPS Magnet Schools serve specific purposes for our school district.  The three purposes are included in the Magnet Guiding Principles adopted by the Board of Education in August of 2011:

• Utilize school facilities effectively
• Promote school diversity
• Provide diverse and relevant program offerings throughout the district that meet student interest and provide expanded learning opportunities
