Our Vanguard Magnet Program

As a zoned neighborhood campus, students who reside within the Frank Black MS attendance zone are guaranteed enrollment. There is no cap on the number of zoned students admitted. We strongly encourage zoned families to submit an application for the Vanguard Magnet Program to access specialized coursework and enrichment opportunities.

Students who reside outside of the Frank Black MS attendance zone must apply through School Choice and are selected through a lottery process. Admission for out-of-zone (transfer) students is limited and based on available campus capacity.
