National Magnet School Of Distinction

Baton Rouge Center for Visual and Performing Arts has been named a National Magnet School of Distinction by Magnet Schools of America, the national association for magnet and theme-based schools. 

To receive a national merit award, members of Magnet Schools of America must submit a detailed application that is scored by a panel of educators. These schools are judged and scored on their demonstrated ability to raise student academic achievement, promote racial and socioeconomic diversity, provide integrated curricula and instruction, and create strong family and community partnerships that enhance the school’s magnet theme.

We will receive the National Magnet School of Distinction Merit Award  during an awards ceremony held at Magnet Schools of America’s 36th National Conference hosted by Chicago Public Schools in Chicago, Illinois April 25-29, 2018.
