How Will APS Rezoning Effect E. Rivers Elementary?
The Atlanta Public School System’s demographic study and the four proposals brought forward by the Demographers suggests some real changes to how the boundary line maps will look for most of the public elementary schools in Buckhead, but perhaps the biggest changes will be those for E. Rivers Elementary. Here is a break down of how each of the four options appear to effect how the attendance boundary lines will look. Keep in mind though that on January 30th-February 2nd, the committee will bring back two or three new options based on feedback from these four options, so those may suggest boundary lines that are unlike all of these scenarios.
Option 1
- Any Neighborhoods West of Northside Drive that now attend Rivers will be rezoned to Bolton Academy. This includes includes Berkeley Park and the Part of Underwood Hills that attends E. Rivers now. (This is consistent in all 4 options)
- Loring Heights will be rezoned to Centennial Place
- There is an area that is currently zoned for Morningside Elementary that is proposed to now be e. Rivers. The area consists of the following streets just south of Lindridge-Martin Manor: Liddell Dr, Manchester St, Bismark Rd, Rockledge Rd, Lambert Dr and Squire Pl.
- Lindridge-Martin Manor will go from Garden Hills to E. Rivers
Option 2
- Any neighborhoods west of Northside Drive that now attend Rivers will be rezoned to Bolton Academy. This includes includes Berkeley Park and the Part of Underwood Hills that attends E. Rivers now. (This is consistent in all 4 options)
- Loring Heights will be rezoned to Centennial Place
- Peachtree Heights East will now be part of E. Rivers instead of Garden Hills Elementary
- The Section of Garden Hills South of E. Wesley will be rezoned to Rivers
- Half of the Lindbergh/Morosgo neighborhood from Sidney Marcus south will go to Rivers leaving the half north of Sidney Marcus in the Garden Hills Elementary District
Option 3
- Peachtree Heights East will be rezoned to E. Rivers from Garden Hills
- A small corner of Peachtree Hills from the Peachtree Hills Park to Lindbergh (on Peachtree Hills Ave) along with Garson Dr and Lindbergh Place will be rezoned to the New Northside School.
- Wyngate, Arden/Habersham and Argonne Forest will be rezoned to E. Rivers from Morris Brandon
Option 4
- Channing Valley moves from Brandon to Rivers
- Brookwood Hills and Peachtree Hills are removed from Rivers and zoned for the New North Side School
- Wyngate, Arden/Habersham and Argonne Forest will be rezoned to E. Rivers from Morris Brandon
