escuela o curso "imAn" / "magnet"
Explanation:
Some school districts (like Los Angeles) don't translate it; others translate it as imAn. Take your pick. It would be impossible in a small space to convey the whole meaning of the term, which has to do with the desegregation of schools and ethnic distribution of students.

Preparatoria universitaria.


Explanation:
Los cursos de un Magnet School son mucho mas avanzados que los de una escuela regular y la admision es restringida a estudiantes que tengan un nivel alto en educacion. Nunca he oido de un "curso"
