Households and businesses in neighborhoods where an elementary school had been closed and in similar neighborhoods where the school remained open were surveyed to determine community attitudes toward school closings. Respondents were asked to address a variety of questions covering such subjects as their satisfaction with their neighborhood, their perception of the quality of public elementary education in their neighborhood, their support for schools, and the extent to which the public school played a role in their decision to locate in the neighborhood. The questionnaire attempted to ascertain what people thought actually happened or expected would happen if the neighborhood school were closed and to determine what has happened to the neighborhoods where the school did close.
