One problem with a magnet program of any type is actual and real access.  It takes time, awareness, and education level to apply to magnet programs.  As a parent in the pps system I can tell you that the people taking advantage of the magnet program our mainly white, at least middle income level, and mostly with two parents many of those with one parent at home.
