Interesting data brought forth by the DCSD Planning Department as to the distance students live from their respective DCSD schools: http://www.dekalb.k12.ga.us/www/documents/planning/2016/pl/PU_Distance_ESMSHS.pdf

This data reflects students residing in their respective school attendance zone.

There are students at Sequoyah MS, Cross Keys HS, Lakeside HS and MLK, Jr. HS that have quite the distance to travel to reach their HS destination.

A few notes with regards to elementary school distances:

§ Austin ES – about 50-50 0 to 1.5 miles from Austin and 1.5 to 3.0 miles from Austin ES

§ Chesnut – all students live within 2 miles of the school

§ Dunwoody ES – 64% of the students live 2 miles or greater from DES.

§ Hightower ES – 83% live 1 to 2 miles from Hightower

§ Kingsley ES – (chart only shows 296 resident students. I think this is incorrect and I have reached out to DCSD for clarification.)

§ Vanderlyn ES – 36% of students live 1 to 2 miles from Vanderlyn; 46% of students live 2+ miles from Vanderlyn
