3
Phase 3 Magnet Schools The magnet schools in this cycle have met or made significant progress on all of their federal targets. Philo, Hanes and Reynolds have made academic gains and attracted a large number of applicants. A big thank you goes out to these schools for a tremendous amount of work that resulted in great opportunities for students.

Phase 3 Magnet Schools Budget Expenditures- $298,742 Personnel/Technology $181,625 Staff Development/Supplies $225,472 Contractual Total Spent: $ 705,839 Project Budget Total:$4.7 Million *Overall applications have increased from 500 in 2001 to over 2000 in 2011 (all magnets)

Rigorous Evaluation This report was obtained over a 3-year rigorous evaluation of the MSAP schools. SERVE Center at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro conducted the study. This study used magnet schools compared to non-magnet within the district.
6
Rigorous Evaluation Academic growth was observed based on whether magnet dosage had any effect on outcomes Overall magnet effects were significant in Philo-Grade 6-8 Math Hanes-Grade 6 and Grade 8 Math Reynolds-English I and Algebra I
7
Rigorous Evaluation Magnet effects were significantly positive for minority students in the following areas: Philo Hispanic Students-Grade 7 and 8 Math Philo African American Students-Grade 6 and 7 Math
8
Rigorous Evaluation Magnet effects were significantly positive for minority students in the following areas: Hanes African American Students-Grade 8 Math Reynolds Hispanic Students- Algebra I Reynolds African American Students- Geometry
9
Rigorous Evaluation In the area of climate, magnet students compared to students attending traditional middle and high schools, have high perceptions of climate at each of the three magnet schools.
10
Rigorous Evaluation Magnet students show significant positive perceptions of the following areas: Respectful classroom behaviors Student high expectations Student-student trust Student-teacher trust
11
Rigorous Evaluation Conclusions The results suggest that magnet programs produce detectable effects on student achievement. In addition to achievement effects, the school climate at each magnet school appears to have high student perceptions of climate.
12
Rigorous Evaluation Conclusions Lastly, these three magnet schools were evidence that a well implemented program, carefully monitored, can show effectiveness even after only three years. Again, a big thank you to the administration, staff and especially students of Philo Magnet Academy, Hanes Magnet School, and Reynolds High School

Phase 4 Phase 4 schools have written detailed implementation plans aligned with their School Improvement Plans with targets and benchmarks in the following areas: 1. Minority isolation/marketing 2. Parental involvement 3. Professional Development 4. Innovative Practices 5. Sustainability
23
Phase 4 Phase 4 schools have already participated in multiple hours of staff development and recruited over 170 students in the first class of magnet students. Thank you for your support to begin these unique magnets and to provide three more options for parental choice.
