    Magnet programs are programs that specialize in one general subject. For example, my school has Everglades Restoration Magnet.

    It is made for two reasons:

    1) Balance out culture/poverty levels/race/whatever. Not trying to insult in any way, but my school is 66% black and the magnet is 75% white. I'm hispanic. o.0

    2) Balance out scores like FCAT.

    Magnet programs are designed to teach and empathizes a particular skill or subject where the school is built around the magnet theme.

    They were organized with the idea of providing strong interest areas for students had theses special interests and then to use them as a springboard to learn other subjects as well.
