Magnet schools are schools with a particular theme designed to attract students from all over the area. For Hartford, the eventual outcome was that the students, being geographically mixed, were inherently mixed racially and socioeconomically as well. In Polk County, choice schools were used to integrate students by providing learning spaces that were not traditionally \u201cwhite\u201d or traditionally \u201cblack.\u201d Today, a considerable amount of magnet and other alternatives to the traditional school have been opened within both counties.<\/p>\n<p><em>Click <a href=\"http:\/\/smartchoices.trincoll.edu\/\" >here<\/a> to visit Hartford\u2019s website on Public School Choice.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.polk-fl.net\/districtinfo\/departments\/schoolbased\/schoolchoice\/\" >here<\/a> for more information on Polk County\u2019s Office of Magnet, Choice, and Charter Schools.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Successes of Both School Desegregation Movements<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since both court cases for desegregation were filed, the school districts of Hartford and Polk County have achieved amazing things.

The report shows a greater percentage of students scoring above proficiency who attend the magnet schools. While some critics argue against the active role in which they play in the improvement of scores, many can agree that magnet schools have had a positive impact on the education of students in Hartford. Judging by the Sheff Movement\u2019s report, it would appear that the desegregation movement of the school system of Hartford rates its success on two major factors: racial integration and improved test scores. Within the provisions of the Sheff 1 and Sheff 2 cases, a certain amount of racial mixing is required in order for the school system to be considered successfully integrated. Based on these parameters, however, the school system is falling behind. So instead, the Sheff Movement turns to test scores as the indicator for success.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_161\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 310px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.davenportschoolofthearts.com\/\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-161 \" src=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/rbenjam2\/files\/2012\/11\/FChoice-300x163.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Polk County&#039;s Davenport School of the Arts where I spent my 8th grade year (a choice school) Source: http:\/\/schools.polk-fl.net\/dsa\/<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>As for Polk County, it\u2019s greatest success, perhaps, occurred in 2000 when it was granted unitary status by the federal court.<sup class='footnote'><a href='http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/rbenjam2\/2012\/11\/28\/ct-fl\/#fn-94-8' id='fnref-94-8' onclick='return fdfootnote_show(94)'>8<\/a><\/sup> This meant that, under the observation of the federal court, Polk County was no longer operating a segregated, or dual, school system.

Critics argue that they have not made enough difference\u2014or perhaps have not made a difference at all. But I would argue that the desegregation movements of these two districts have made great progress. We can see many similarities between the two districts as well as recognize the differences between their struggles and success. All in all, the schools within these districts have many opportunities to offer, and they are available to students of all colors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_166\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 138px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/rbenjam2\/files\/2012\/11\/WordPress.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-166\" src=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/rbenjam2\/files\/2012\/11\/WordPress-128x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"128\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Richelle Benjamin Trinity College &#039;15<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><em>Richelle Benjamin<\/em><\/strong> is a student at Trinity College, seeking to major in Educational Studies.
