Magnet Description

The Arbor Ridge magnet is for students in grades six to eight. Students have the opportunity to reach the highest intellectual and behavioral potential in a small, nurturing learning environment. This setting allows students to gain academic success without the pressure of a large, traditional middle school, and will enable them to prepare for greater achievement beyond the eighth grade. This rigorous magnet emphasizes self-organization, responsibility, and leadership so that students are prepared to live as productive and successful citizens in an ever-changing, challenging society. Participating students enter the magnet in the sixth grade and a limited number may enter in seventh and eighth grades.

Transportation is provided for this magnet for students who reside within the Arbor Ridge Elementary transportation zone.

Specific Eligibility Requirements: Applicant's schedule must be able to accommodate magnet classes and a 2.5 GPA is recommended.
