Welcome to San Jose Highly Gifted Magnet

San Jose Highly Gifted Magnet school gives children of extraordinary intelligence an opportunity to learn, grow and develop to their maximum potential. The Highly Gifted Magnet schools in Los Angeles are one of the few programs in the US designed for children with IQ of 145+.  These students have unique intellectual, social and emotional needs not addressed in regular “gifted” classrooms. San Jose HG Magnet brings together specialized teachers, challenging curriculum and compatible peers to ensure a meaningful education in a supportive environment.

The e-choices on-time application window for the 2019-2020 academic year is October 1 – November 9, 2018. During this time period you can submit an application for our magnet program.  Please see our tour schedule for this time.

Tour dates for October are:

The times for all tours are 9:25 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.  Please email Olivia Diaz at omc6794@lausd.net or call (818) 365-3218 to schedule a tour.

We still have space available for the 2018-19 school year in our 2/3 grade class and in our 4th grade class.  We will be accepting new students in January, 2019, for a 2 week period after the Winter break.  Many parents are just now receiving their children's intellectual assessment results.  If you are interested in attending San Jose Highly Gifted Magnet beginning in January of this school year, please schedule an appointment for our tours.  You can also apply for the late application process on echoices.lausd.net.  Please email Olivia Diaz at omc6794@lausd.net for assistance.
