Montgomery Magnet School Gets Top Honors AGAIN!
It’s that time of year – time to apply for magnet and private schools for the 2010-2011 school year.
If you’re wondering what public magnet schools in Montgomery have to offer, consider the honors recently bestowed upon Loveless Academic Magnet Program High School (LAMP):
20th best high school in the NATION
and
4th best magnet school in the NATION.
That’s pretty strong.
“U.S. News and World Report” considered data from over 21,000 public high schools to come up with this ranking. And it’s not the first time LAMP and other Montgomery magnet schools have received such awards (see last year’s ranking here). Booker T Washington and Brewbaker Technology Magnet High Schools were also ranked nationally.

FYI – Montgomery has public magnet schools for grades K-12. For more information check out the MPS website. Applications are usually available on their website in mid-January and must be returned in early February.

It’s a shame that our taxes pay for the magnet schools, but a lottery determines who’s children get in. Plus, get a better education than the other kids in regular public schools,with which our taxes pay for, and with better teachers. We should make all our public schools like Magnet schools and give every child in our school system the same opportunity as the ones lucky enough to get their names picked. Some say Alabama doesn’t have a Lottery. We do when it comes to Education.
Hey Wilson, thanks for stopping by.
