"According to Skyline lore, it is the oldest and biggest magnet school in the nation. Maybe the universe. I don't know if that's true, having visited only a limited portion of the universe myself. But I do know from covering decades of Dallas desegregation litigation that Dallas played a key role in developing the concept of magnets in the late 1960s. Skyline opened its doors in 1970. It has always been a sort of hybrid—half-magnet, half-regular neighborhood school. Today about 2,500 students are scattered in two dozen magnet programs, and the same number are in the general neighborhood or "comprehensive" part of the school."

"[...]an example of this was a so-called 'super' high school called Skyline High, which opened in 1971. The Skyline curriculum was based on the idea of career strands (rather than isolated subject studies) and attracted students from all ethnic groups around the city, as well as providing adult evening classes."
