Geographical Impacts
Overview of the Move
PGCPS is proposing DKFI move either:
- 8.5 miles from its current location to the Kenmoor Middle School building
- 4.6 miles from its current location to be collocated at the Robert Goddard Montessori School building
Isochrones
The below isochrones show the nominal distances from Dora Kennedy French Immersion school to 5, 10, and 15 minutes away. These are general times and do not take into account traffic volume, closures, or other delays, but are powerful tools to provide an interpretation of the vehicular distance from one place.
The red boundary shows the catchment area for Dora Kennedy French Immersion school. This is the northern half of the county, as separated by Central Avenue. Locations south of Central Avenue are in the catchment area for Maya Angelou French Immersion School.
Current DKFI Isochrones
The map below shows the areas within 5, 10, and 15 minutes (nominally) from the current Dora Kennedy French Immersion School location that fall within the northern catchment area of Prince George’s County.
Proposed Robert Goddard Isochrones
The map below shows the areas within 5, 10, and 15 minutes (nominally) from the proposed Robert Goddard Montessori School location that fall within the northern catchment area of Prince George’s County.
Proposed Kenmoor Isochrones
The map below shows the areas within 5, 10, and 15 minutes (nominally) from the proposed Kenmoor Middle School location that fall within the northern catchment area of Prince George’s County.
Population Density
The below maps overlay the 15 minute isochrones over a population density map for the Dora Kennedy French Immersion School catchment area. The colors represent the number of people per square mile as reported by the 2020 census data for Prince George’s County. These map show a representation of the population served within 15 minutes (nominally) from the school locations.
As shown below, the current DKFI location is closer to a much larger portion of the northern Prince George’s County catchment area and is able to more easily serve a a much larger section of the population.
