Title 1, Beacon Hill Schools Losing Most Walk Zones (with Table and Downloadable Spreadsheet)

For the last week I've been considering how the Seattle Public Schools' new boundary proposal affects school walk zones throughout the city, with special attention on equity for our Title 1 (low-income) schools. Below is a table representing my findings about which neighborhood grade schools would lose "walk zones" -- SPS's own designated areas where children can and should safely walk to their local school. By "losing their walk zone," I mean that children who live within the walk zone for their local school would be reassigned to schools that the city and district believe are too far and/or unsafe for them to walk.

Here's what I've found:

--Citywide, 28% of Title 1 (low-income) schools are losing walk zones, compared to 12% of non-Title 1 schools.

--Under the new proposal, 67% of Beacon Hill schools would lose official SPS walk zones, compared to 13% for the rest of the city.

--All of the Beacon Hill schools losing walk zones are Title 1 (low-income) schools.

--Beacon Hill is the only neighborhood where kids would be taken out of walk zones to cross interstate-feeding arterials, or, in the case of Beacon Hill International, I-90 itself.

Based on my review of the data (presented below), these are the neighborhood grade schools where families will be losing their walk zones:

• Maple (Title 1)
• Beacon Hill International (Title 1)
• Dearborn Park (Title 1)
• Graham Hill (Title 1)
• Kimball (Title 1)
• Northgate (Title 1)
• Roxhill (Title 1)
• BF Day
• Green Lake
• John Stanford
• North Beach

P.S. Please comment below if I have gotten anything wrong. The district makes it extremely difficult to understand how the boundaries are changing (the changes are not overlaid on the maps). Also, the new maps do not include walk zones. I did the best I could to parse all the data. Thank you!

Here is the below information in a downloadable spreadsheet.

Beacon Hill Would Lose the Most Walk Zones of Any Seattle Neighborhood

With Seattle Public Schools' new boundary proposal, Beacon Hill would lose the most grade school walk zones of any Seattle neighborhood.

--Out of the 11 schools citywide that are losing walk zone areas, 4 are on Beacon Hill.

--All 4 (Kimball, Beacon Hill International, Maple, Dearborn Park) of the neighborhood grade schools in North and Mid Beacon Hill would lose walk zone areas.

--Including the entire Beacon Hill area, 4 out of our 6 neighborhood schools (67%) are losing walk zones, compared to 13% for the rest of the city.

--Currently, 100% (2 out of 2) of Beacon Hill's freeway onramp feeder arterials serve as natural boundaries between neighborhood grade school zones. The district now wants our grade school zones to overlap the freeway onramp arterials of Spokane and Graham.

Instead of moving forward with the current boundary proposal, the District should:

(1) increase children's fitness levels, save transportation dollars, and limit diesel pollutants by retaining their own established Beacon Hill walk zones, and

(2) retain the busy I-5 arterials of Graham and Spokane as natural boundaries between school zones to keep our children safe.

Besides Dearborn Park (which loses its entire zone if it becomes an option school), here are maps of the lost walk zones at Maple, Kimball, and Beacon Hill International.

This Maple walk zone needs to stay at Maple, not cross the I-5 arterial of Graham to go to Van Asselt over 2 miles away:

This Kimball walk zone needs to stay at Kimball, not cross the I-5 arterial of Spokane to go to Maple and replace Maple walk zone kids' seats:

This Beacon Hill International walk zone needs to stay at Beacon Hill International, not cross under I-90 to go to Thurgood Marshall:

Seattle Public Schools to Shut Low-Income Students Out of Walk Zones?

Seattle Public Schools' proposed new boundaries would push many children out of neighborhood grade school walk zones and onto buses. And these changes would disproportionately affect Title 1 (low income) schools, with 28% of Title 1 neighborhood grade schools losing walk zones compared to only 12% of non-Title 1 schools. As usual, Southeast Seattle is also disproportionately affected, with most of the schools losing their walk zones located here.

While Seattle Public Schools should not be shutting any children out of walk zones and onto buses, they should be trying especially hard to keep low-income communities within city-approved walking distance of their local schools. Higher family income is already correlated with higher performance in school, and recent studies also suggest a connection between fitness and academic success. As recently noted in the New York Times Well blog, a University of Illinois study found that nine and 10-year-olds did better at memorizing facts if they were physically fit, and the Journal of Pediatrics reported that a study of about 12,000 Nebraska public school students in fourth through eighth grade showed that fitter kids did better on standardized tests.

Nevertheless, Seattle Public Schools is pushing students at seven Title 1 schools out of their official city-approved walk zones to their nearby neighborhood grade schools and onto buses to faraway schools. Yet another layer of inequity is that this will increase the use of diesel buses in areas already disproportionately plagued by diesel exhaust and other pollution (as near I-5 and Boeing Field on Mid Beacon Hill).

Based on my initial review of the data (presented below), these are the neighborhood grade schools losing their walk zones:

• Maple (Title 1)
• Beacon Hill International (Title 1)
• Dearborn Park (Title 1)
• Graham Hill (Title 1)
• Kimball (Title 1)
• Northgate (Title 1)
• Roxhill (Title 1)
• BF Day
• Green Lake
• John Stanford
• North Beach

Shutting all these Title 1 schools out of walk zones violates almost all of Seattle Public Schools' guiding principles:

• "Ground decisions in data." (No. The data, presented in tabular format below, shows that the changes disproportionately shut low-income schools out of walk zones.)

• "Create boundaries that reflect equitable access to services and programs." (These SE Seattle boundary changes do not improve access to existing services and programs, but definitely create income and racial INEQUITY in terms of walkability.)

• "Maximize walkability." (No -- the exact opposite.)

• "Enable cost-effective transportation standards." (No -- this will take children out of walk zones and put them on buses the district has to pay for.)

• "Maintain key features of New Student Assignment Plan (e.g. opportunities for creating diversity within boundaries, choice, option schools, feeder patterns)." (There is no evidence this will be the case. SPS is proposing changing Dearborn Park into a language immersion option school, but they admit they have no plan in terms of funding, curriculum, or timeline. I asked this question several times at the Mercer meeting.)

• "Minimize disruptions by aligning new boundaries with current attendance area boundaries when feasible." (No -- the exact opposite.)

• "Be mindful of fiscal impact (costs and savings)." (No -- it will cost more to bus students to faraway schools than to let them walk to their local school.

• "Be responsive to family input to the extent feasible." (We can only hope! Absolutely no one at the Mercer meeting approved of these changes. There is huge outcry from SE Seattle about how bad these changes are to our community.)

Based on the turnout at the Mercer community meeting on Monday as well as School Board Rep. Betty Patu's monthly coffee chat today, there will be too many of us banding together against this plan for the district to ignore us. Make your voice heard, and email these groups with your comments today: GrowthBoundaries@seattleschools.org; schoolboard@seattleschools.org

P.S. Please let me know if I have gotten anything wrong below. The district makes it extremely difficult to understand how the boundaries are changing (the changes are not overlaid on the maps). Also, the new maps do not include walk zones. I did the best I could to parse all the data. Thank you!
