What are Magnets?
Magnet Schools provide students with access to college preparatory courses and specialized curricula which investigate and explore today’s career choices. Leadership skills are refined through the many activities and competitions offered in the Magnet Schools. Dallas ISD offers 30 magnet schools where they can study subjects ranging from the arts and leaderships to STEM and communications at every grade level.
What are OTI Choice schools?
Dallas ISD provides families with a wide array of choices to ensure every student can attend their best-fit school. The district currently offers 45 Transformation and Innovation Schools, which are identified through OTI's competitive Public School Choice application process. All schools selected through this process are designed around an innovative anchor model such as Performing and Visual Arts, Montessori, Personalized Learning, or STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).
