ZONED SCHOOL
The school that you are zoned to is your neighborhood school and the one that your child will be automatically accepted into (as long as it is not too full).

MAGNET FOCUS
If you would like the opportunity for your child to attend a school you are not zoned to, you will have apply for a magnet transfer. THISis the part of HISD’s website about the magnet programs. Each magnet school has a specialized theme that is incorporated into their classes and curriculum. For example, a fine arts magnet school may offer more exposure to music, dance, art and drama than other schools would.
APPLICATIONS
You can submit up to 5 magnet school applications, of which 5 can be for Vanguard schools. Know that magnet schools can be very hard to get in to, so apply to several! Also, children must quality for Vanguard programs. In case they do not do well on the test, make sure you have selected some non-Vanguard magnet programs when you apply. Apply online or print an application... the link will be updated when I have it. It changed from last year!
After all this, there is a good chance you will not get into your first choice school. I've certainly had my heart broken by the HoustonISD lottery. Maybe THISpost will encourage you.
