STEM schools are a great idea, I don't know how they would work, but here in Iceland we have a few very popular small schools, one in particular gets young kids excited about computers, programming, which I wish we would teach all kids since they can pick up basic programming much easier than when they get older.
One thing that will be a huge boost for any kid born today is to learn and be proficient in computer programming, the language of the devices we know should be a mandatory early education class in my humble opinion.
STEM is always a bit of a stigma for girls for example, and I worry about having a school that will likely have trouble attracting girls, and therefor continuing the stigma and opinion kids have about STEM.
I still like the idea though.
