Please be sure to click on and review the 2027-2028 Magnet Procedures Manual for New Sibling Preference Procedures!
10% of the available seats will be set aside for siblings applying to a magnet school where one of their siblings is already attending. Please read below for more specific guidelines.
Sibling Preference in Magnet School and Program Admissions
The School District shall provide sibling preference in the magnet school and program enrollment process to support family continuity and facilitate student attendance.
A student may be granted sibling preference when the applicant has a sibling currently enrolled in and is expected to remain enrolled in the same magnet school or magnet program during the school year for which the applicant is seeking admission. Please note, if the sibling that is already attending the magnet accepts a seat at another magnet or non-magnet school, the sibling preference seat will be revoked for the applying sibling. The purpose of the sibling priority is to keep siblings together at the same magnet school for the school year the family is applying for.
For purposes of this preference, a sibling includes a biological, adopted, step, foster, or legal guardian's child residing in the same household.
The District reserves the right to require documentation verifying the sibling relationship and residency status. Any false or misleading information provided during the application process may result in the denial or revocation of enrollment privileges.
Sibling preference shall be applied in accordance with established enrollment procedures and only after all eligibility requirements for the magnet program have been met. Sibling preference serves as a priority consideration in the admissions process and does not guarantee placement or admission. All placements remain subject to available capacity, program requirements, and district regulations.
