Magnet schools are public schools defined by four principal characteristics: a distinctive curriculum or instructional approach, enrollment of students from outside designated neighborhood attendance zones, desegregation as their explicit purpose, and school choice by families. Magnet schools have been used for desegregation since the mid‐1970s. However, the concept of magnet schools as district specialty schools has been present since the 1900s. Currently, there are three major national studies of magnet schools
