Preferred term

magnet schools and resegregation  

Definition

  • Magnet schools, which draw students from beyond the normal boundaries of school districts, have been seen as a strategy for racially integrating U.S. schools. However, there is considerable evidence that U.S. schools in the past 2 decades have become increasingly segregated.
