Central Magnet to Accept McFadden Students

August 13, 2009

The Rutherford County School Board will review a policy dealing with the new Central Academic Magnet School this evening at 5. The board members are expected to approve a new plan allowing for students enrolled at McFadden School of Excellence to receive guaranteed admission to the new magnet. The only catch is that the student must have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher and score well on the states academic testing scale.

The reason for the guaranteed admission at Central is based on the fact that once Central Middle becomes Central Magnet, the McFadden magnet school will no longer continue to be a K - 8th grade school. McFadden will drop grades 6th, 7th and 8th. Therefore, those students will be enrolled at Central.
