So, do you mean a magnet? In every district? Busing from nearby districts? (In my area, that would be miles and miles due to the rural nature of the outlying areas...many hours on buses.)

I mean, I generally throw my lot in with eliminating age-based grades, but that's a pipe dream.

It could be done if the population density is high enough. If a kid is, say, 1 in 10,000 frequency then the odds of having another child in that range in that grade in that school are miniscule. And if everyone knew that Kennedy Elementary and King Middle in Jonesville were the regional magnets then you could take that into account when looking for a house.
