There are three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school out of the 162 magnet programs in the district that are part of the Highly Gifted Magnet. The three elementary schools are Eagle Rock Elementary, Multnomah Elementary and San Jose Elementary. (Formerly, Carpenter Elementary School offered a highly gifted magnet as well). The three schools have nearly 300 students from grades 2 through 5, and in one case grade 6. Many students from those three elementary schools go on to the Portola Highly Gifted Magnet Center, which serves students from grades 6 through 8. North Hollywood High School is the parent school for the HGM program at the high school level, serving almost 400 students from grades 9 through 12.
