Magnet Programs are theme-oriented programs that provide students with in-depth experiences in a particular area of interest. Students who are eligible to attend a Baltimore County Public School may apply. Entry into magnet programs is assessed by each magnet school on the basis of academic performance in middle school. In addition, the school may assess an applicant via audition/practicum, test, interview, or work sample.

- Mathematics, Science, and Computer Science (Parkville)
- Math, Science, and Pre-Engineering (Woodlawn)
- Environmental Science (Western & Sparrows Point)
- Sports Science Academy (Kenwood)
- Law and Public Policy (Towson)
- Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Multimedia, Digital Filmmaking (Patapsco and Carver)
- Automotive Service Technology, Allied Health, Business Administration Technology, Construction Management, Engineering, Multimedia Communications (Eastern)
