Apartments Feeding Esther Jackson Elementary

There has been interest in the contribution of apartments to the K-5 student population at Esther Jackson Elementary School, and in particular how the demolition of the King's Bridge apartments to make way for Roswell East would affect the composition of the Esther Jackson Elementary student population.

This information from Fulton County indicates that 70% of students who live in apartments and attend Esther Jackson Elementary come from apartments other than King's Bridge, mostly from the West side of GA 400. (King's Bridge is on the East).

The developer states "Proposed type and number of residential units proposed for Roswell East creates about 50 fewer students for the surrounding schools when compared to the current apartments"

Therefore, after Roswell East is built, the contribution that the apartments on the other side (West side) of GA 400 make to Esther Jackson should be a higher percentage than it is now, and may go up in absolute terms as well if additional capacity at Esther Jackson Elementary is opened up by the Roswell East project.

The map shows the student counts from the various apartment complexes and their locations.
