The Highly Gifted Magnet (HGM) is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District's Gifted and Talented program, designed for students of extraordinary intelligence whose needs are not met by normal Gifted programs. The purpose is to cluster students of similar capabilities with teachers who can challenge them with greater academic and intellectual rigor while meeting their social and emotional needs. These relatively small programs are housed on larger campuses. In an Los Angeles Times that separated Magnet test scores from their host schools, HGMs consistently had the highest standardized test scores of all LAUSD schools.

Famous quotes containing the words highly and/or magnet:
“A good man, though he will value his own countrymen, yet will think as highly of the worthy men of every nation under the sun.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“Yes, but I do not travel to find comfortable, rich, and hospitable people, or clear sky, or ingots that cost too much. But if there were any magnet that would point to the countries and houses where are the persons who are intrinsically rich and powerful, I would sell all, and buy it, and put myself on the road to-day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
