The Impact of Career Magnet High Schools: Experimental and Qualitative Evidence.

Heebner, Amy L.

Journal of Vocational Education Research, v20 n2 p27-55 1995

Data were collected from 5,000 students, interviews with 70 students and 62 staff, survey of administrators in over 100 carer magnet programs, and comparison of students admitted by lottery and those not admitted. Lottery winners had better math scores; students with medium reading scores benefited from winning the lottery. Magnet students developed more confidence in career skills. (SK)
