Jacob Hiatt Magnet School

Established as an inner-city magnet school to foster racial integration, Jacob Hiatt attracts more than 700 students from throughout the district. Its student body is 51% white, 32% Hispanic, 12% African American and 5% Asian. Six percent of the school's population receives special education services. The staff has worked hard to develop a strong academic program, and as a result of these efforts, the school is now recognized in the community for its academic achievement and has a waiting list of over one hundred students.

Jacob Hiatt Magnet School has received the honor of being one of only 10 schools in the state, and the only school in Central Massachusetts, to expand its school day starting in September 2006. Students now have nearly 10 more hours per week to enhance their studies in core academic subjects and participate in exciting new electives and cultural programs.
