Jacksonville North Carolina - Magnet Schools

There seems to be much confusion about Magnet Schools so perhaps I can shed some light on the subject.

A magnet school is "a public school with a specific topic to focus planning and instruction--all curriculum is sought to be taught through the specified focus of the school. Even though magnet schools have an instructional focus, these schools also teach the North Carolina Standard Course of Study".

A look at Onslow County NC's two magnet schools.
