#WeChooseSLPS

With thirty specialty schools to choose from, the St. Louis Magnet Schools offer an exciting, tuition free alternative for students of all ages and abilities.

Understanding the Lottery

Because the number of applications often exceeds the number of available spaces, all applications are entered into a lottery to place students within each pool. The lottery is used to assure an equal chance for all students applying to magnet schools, within the pool periods and using certain priority categories.
