FIND YOUR ZONED SCHOOLS
Enter any address and see the exact elementary, middle, and high schools zoned for it, computed from NYC DOE's own zone boundary files — not a lookup table someone typed by hand.

SEARCH THE FULL DIRECTORY
Every NYC public school, filterable by borough, grade level, and zoned status, sortable by quality, admissions odds, or independent rankings.

COMPARE UP TO 4 SCHOOLS
Line up zoning, quality metrics, demographics, and admissions data side by side for up to four schools at once.

ZONE OVERLAPS
See exactly which middle schools each zoned elementary school feeds into — every elementary/middle pairing in the city, in one table.

EVERY FIGURE SOURCED
School quality, demographics, and admissions data all come from NYC DOE and NYC Open Data, reprocessed but never altered. SchoolDigger and Niche rankings are shown side by side rather than blended.

SAVE & SYNC
Sign in with Google to save schools and comparisons, and pick them back up on the website with the same account.
