Traditionally, children are assigned to a public school according to where they live.  Spartanburg School District 7 recognizes that each student is unique and our choice/magnet programs are designed to help meet those needs and to nurture students’ talents, interests and aptitudes.  School choice programs foster parental involvement and high expectations, and gives parents the opportunity to choose the school that will meet their child’s needs.
