The policy has raised various responses from communities that need to be well studied to find best inputs upon impacts of such a policy. This study aims at revealing the responses of the Yogyakarta people on the implementation of the school zonation system and investigating the strength and weakness of such an implementation. The researchers interview 10 teachers, 10 school principals, and 10 parents that the researchers conveniently met them. In addition, the researchers also administer document analyses to triangulate the data. The findings indicated that communities showed varied responses both positive and negative ones. The positive responses revealed that excitement of the parents on the distance between their home and schools, yet they were also complaint on their failure to send their children to their intended school. The findings also disclosed some strength and weakness of the programs based on the perception of participants of this study.
