What's the difference between the Honors Program and the Magnet Program?
The Honors Program is for advanced students in the Palms home school, meaning that they attend Palms because they are in the Palms attendance area.
The Magnet Program is for students in the LAUSD Magnet Program who have been admitted to the Palms Gifted/High Ability Magnet.
The admissions processes are different and the funding sources are different, but the Honors Program and Magnet Program are academically equivalent. Honors and Magnet classes are taught separately but have the same curriculum.
For more details see the Three Schools in One page, the Magnet School page, and LAUSD's Gifted/High Ability Magnet page.
