In our neighborhood, by mass ave, many students who are accepted want to go. Many do for elementary school, the bus pick up times are OK and you just forfeit most after school activities. 
But in MS and HS, they want to go too, but the 5:30am bus pick up time and the 4-5pm bus drop off time are prohibitive. The after school bus route and times are more horrid. Few parents can drop off or pick up, it is too far, no public transport that makes sense, and in too much traffic congestion or far from any office cluster.

So, it's a poorly construed option and they naturally return to their neighborhood school. It does however raise the scores of the host school.

Find out the acceptance rates of those who test in, are accepted and then do not go.  MoCo is not providing a viable service to its GT students. [b]Hence the decreasing yields,[/b] hence the everlasting churn off the waitlists and hence the low re up/ return rates for distant students. [/quote]

Why would the yields be decreasing? The magnets haven't gotten any further away, have they? And how do you know that the yields are decreasing?[/quote]
