Zoo MagnetBegun in 1981, this magnet is a specialized school that buses its students out to a site next to the LA Zoo. At this site, the approximately 300 students who attend take all the regular classes such as history, math, and English. The difference is that there are several classes, as well as Advanced Placement classes, related to biological and zoological sciences, which the students can choose from in place of chemistry or physics, and as general electives. Many of these classes also include trips into the zoo for tours and observation. One class, animal behavior, requires observation time in the zoo; the class meets three days per week (each class meets only three days, lasting two hours each) - during class time. Another class, animal husbandry, requires community service, working with the wildlife in different areas of the zoo. Highly Gifted Magnet"The HGM program was established in 1989 for students who have a measured IQ of 145+ and is designed to provide an academically challenging, college preparatory program. The 300 students in grade 9-12 study a stringent, rigorous curriculum commensurate with the most demanding of public or private schools in the country. The HGM student is a well-rounded individual whose emotional, intellectual and physical success is fostered by involvement in the regular high school and community. These students have gained immeasurably by interacting in a culturally diverse, urban high school. The program seeks to prepare students to thrive in the most demanding of university environments. Students display a variety of interests in their extracurricular activities and academic directions." Notable alumni
