1. Demographic Profiles of DeKalb School Board Districts Prepared by Neighborhood Nexus and Atlanta Regional Commission March 1, 2013

2. School Age Population (5-17) Key Points: District 2 has the smallest school age population. District 1 has the second smallest school age population. Thus the northern districts have the smallest school age populations Districts 5 and 6 have the highest (they are almost identical), with District 7 not far behind. Thus the southeastern districts have the largest school age populations. Connecting Atlanta’s Communities 2 Source: ESRI

3. School Age Populations compared Key Points: What we are looking for is the same basic “shape” of the bars district-by-district. For the most part, we have that. District 4 is the lone exception in that it has a larger elementary school age relative to the overall “shape” of the bars in the middle school and high school graphs.

4. Age 0-4 Key Points: District 7 has the largest number of kids ages 0 to 4, about 800 more kids than District 6, which had the lowest number of kids age 0-4. This is the population that will begin hitting elementary school next year. Connecting Atlanta’s Communities 4 Source: ESRI

5. Elementary School Age (5-10) Key Points: District 5 has the largest number of elementary school age kids (ages 5 – 10). District 5 had a low 0-4 population, meaning that they will have extra capacity in the next few years in elementary schools due to low replacement numbers. District 6 is in a similar situation. District 2 had the lowest elementary school age population. District 7 has large populations in both the 0-4 and elementary school age group. Connecting Atlanta’s Communities 5 Source: ESRI

6. Middle School Age (11-13) Key Points: District 6 has the largest number of middle school age kids. District 5 also has large numbers of elementary school age kids. District 6 is in a similar situation. District 2 had the lowest middle school age population AND the lowest elementary school age population. Districts 1 and 4 have the largest “gap” between elementary age and middle school age. (i.e. there are 4,500 more elementary age kids than middle school age kids in District 1).
