After conducting various analyses using several layers, buffers, and specifications, our results showed that Littlewood Elementary and Finley Elementary were considered to be the most child-friendly schools. We first individually researched and mapped out our assigned layers. We then combined everyone's layers and criteria into one cohesive mapping. After combining all layers, we analyzed the school buffer zones for inclusion of all of the criteria. As a result, we found that Littlewood and Finley met all criteria, while simultaneously having the least amount of sex offenders. We noted that the 3 sex offenders within the schools' buffer boundaries are permanently registered sex offenders. All other schools studied only met one of our groups of criteria.
