the focus of magnet schools should stay on academics and the arts, not sports.

Magnet schools should also ONLY be magnet. No regular neighborhood kids mixed in with magnet kids.
They tried that with Scotlandville Magnet High School in the mid 90s(thankfully after I graduated) and it failed miserably.

I actually chose NOT to go to BR High b/c of football. Turned out fine and there were about 10 of us in same boat(went to McKinley magnet but then to Woodlawn b/c of football). I don't think I'd want my kids doing that.

Exactly.
If someone wants to play one of the major sports, then the magnet program is not for them.
It's a specialized program and the school isn't designed to be all things to all people.
