Considering my following explanation, I do agree with "themed" high school. There is one in my city, however, it isn't full-time. Students attend their base school for core subjects like English, History, Foreign Language, and electives. A morning or afternoon block is spent at the Math & Science High School for more intensive education in those subjects. Most of the students that attend these schools generally go on to major in Engineering, Mathematics, etc. The same is true for our creative arts center and health careers school. Our city has one school "vocational" school that I do know about. If offers classes in cosmetology, auto repair, etc. in addition to traditional acedemic classes. I think that it is recognized that students need vocational classes.
