There may have been, I really don't know. The reality, however, is that magnet schools are, demographically, like good universities in or nearby urban areas (think Pepperdine, Tulane, Emory, NYU, Michigan, etc.) Blacks and Latinos are underrepresented in magnet programs, in relation to their percentage of the population in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Magnet program admission is based on merit and ability... at least it is at this point in history.
