The attached
survey was distributed to families in the Grant Park Neighborhood in Spring
1998. About 60 completed surveys
were received. The results are
as follows:
1 I
intend to move once my children are school age no matter what school options
are available in the neighborhood
6 I
will send my child to private school no matter what public neighborhood schools
are available.
28 I am
optimistic that I will send my children to the new school being built to
combine Slaton and Annie West
23 I
doubt I will send my children to the new school being built to combine Slaton
and Annie West

not satisfied with the neighborhood public school option, I plan to:
17 Move
to another neighborhood
3 Home
school my children

to obtain a transfer to another Atlanta Public School

my children to private school

the neighborhood public school a try even though I am not completely
