to the School District by the 2002-2003 school year. Cherry City is a proposed development near the Downtown Area (near Wilson Elementary.) Over 330 ~ new three to five bedroom single family homes are planned, and the school district expects a significant portion of those households to have a high student j yield. Notably, the three elementary schools located closest to the Downtown core -Wilson, McKinley, and Washington elementary schools -experienced the larg- est San Leandro increase in student population, and are expected to continue increasing at a high rate. This trend correlates to information from residential real estate sources, who have stated that the majority of newly purchased homes in the Downtown area are to first time buyers, many with new families. Many of these buyers are initially drawn to San Leandro for the location and affordable home prices. Continuation of quality community and educational services provided by the City and the School District are crucial to retaining these first-time buyers for the years to come. Both school district enrollment data and residential resales within the down- town neighborhoods are strong indicators of a changing, and positive climate San Leandro Unified School District's Elementary School Attendance and School District Projections: 1990-1999 and 2002-03 * School 90-91 97-98 Change: 98-99 Change: Projected Projected 90/91 to 90/91 to 02/03 Change 97/98 97/98 90/91 to 02/03 Downtown Washington 394 506 28.4% 490 24.4% 573 45.4% McKinley 307 388 26.4% 441 43.6% 492 60.3% Wilson* 660 832 26.1% 871 32.0% 1,031 56.2% Total 1,361 1,726 26..8% 1,802 32.4% 2,096 54.0% Other Areas Garfield 388 477 22.9% 510 31.4% 560 44.3% Jefferson 345 433 25.5% 472 36.8% 532 54.2% Madison** 104 87 -16.3% 127 22.1% 248 138.5% Monroe 403 425 5.5% 452. .12.2% 520 29.0% Roosevelt 448 460 2.7% a 498 11.2% 569 27.0% Total 1,688 1,882 11.5% 2,059 22.0% 2,429 43.9% *The 2002/03 projection, includes Cherry City, 337 single family homes in the Wilson attendance area. **Madison's growth will mostly result from the Heron Bay housing development, which includes G29 units.
