How to Find What School District an Address Is In

If you’re moving across country and aren’t sure what neighborhoods go with which school districts you can find the information yourself on the Internet. Innovations in mapping software have provided useful data on school districts now available at your fingertips. The U.S. Department of Education district locator website, for instance, displays school district boundaries. Most states also provide online maps showing school districts down to the street level so that users can determine boundaries of any given district.

      Go to the SchoolDistrictFinder.com website and type in name of the city and state to find corresponding school districts. The map that appears will indicate where all schools in a given district are located. If more than one school district is associated with your search deselect districts to remove schools from the map. Zoom in for a more detailed view of the school district from a street map level.

      Ask a real estate agent or broker which school district your address is in. Real estate agents are frequently asked about school districts and also post them on their listings of properties for sale. Most real estate agents and brokers also keep up-to-date information when school districts change their boundary lines.

      Verify with the applicable school district that your address is located within the district itself. Call the school district's main office or your state or local education agency to verify what school district your address is in. Boundaries for school districts can change over time as populations grow, cities incorporate or new schools are built.
