Choosing an Elementary School in the Florence Area
When comparing regular Florence-area elementary schools to charter and magnet schools,
one should keep in mind the differences between charter schools, magnet schools and traditional
public schools.
Magnet schools are in most cases alternative public schools that offer a specialized curriculum.
At the highest level, North and South Carolina magnet schools and traditional elementary schools tend to be
managed by the same entity - the county school superintendent's office. Magnet schools normally
can accept students from anywhere in the county in which they are located, and often limit the
acceptance pool through a lottery system.
Charter schools, on the other hand, are each independently managed. They tend to accept
students not only from the county in which they're located, but surrounding counties as well.
Like magnets, charters tend to use a lottery-based acceptance method.
Regular elementary schools are sometimes called "zoned schools," "neighborhood schools" or "zip code schools."
This is because they accept students from a limited geographical area - such as a town or a specific
set of subdivisions. Regular schools do not tend to use a lottery system. Regular elementary
schools are the most common kinds of schools in North and South Carolina.
