The magnet school program established during the 1988-89 school year by the New York City Board of Education in four high schools is evaluated in this summary report. Magnet schools were developed to achieve an integrated school system, with a focus on development of a curriculum that would attract various racial and ethnic groups. Increased student motivation was expected to contribute to achievement of the following program objectives: improved attendance; increased academic achievement; improved intergroup student relations; and increased positive school attitudes. Data collection involved analysis of aggregated attendance and grade advancement data and a survey of students in the program. Findings indicate that all four high schools attained or came close to attaining two of the three objectives. The attendance objective was met by each of the four schools, and the achievement objective was met and exceeded by three of the four schools. Survey responses demonstrate that although over one-half of the students displayed generally favorable attitudes toward their peers and school, the evaluation criterion of 70 percent was not achieved in any of the four schools. The recommendation is made for continuous emphasis on improving the attitudinal objective. Programs of the participating schools are described. (LMI)
