Northwest Suburban Integration School District
District 279, in collaboration with the Northwest Suburban Integration School District, has established magnet schools. Weaver Lake Elementary: A Science, Math & Technology School, is one of those schools.
Magnet schools offer specialized curricular themes and instructional methods. They have historically been used as a method to desegregate learning environments. Magnets promote racial diversity, improve scholastic standards, and provide a range of programs to satisfy individual talents and interests.
