Schools near any US address

School location shapes the day of a family and the price of a house. The Property Location Report lists the public schools nearest an address, numbered on a map with their distances, and names the school district the address belongs to.

Check an address

US addresses only. Every figure names its source.

The public schools nearby section of a Property Location Report: the school district, the nearest public school at 0.7 miles, nine schools within 3 km, and a table of each school with its straight-line distance.
The school district, the nearest school and the list by distance (sample report, Winnetka, Illinois).

Why it matters when you buy

Distance is part of daily life

Walking, bus rides and the school run all follow from how far the nearest schools are, and from which district applies.

The district matters as much as the building

Enrolment is usually set by district boundaries. The report shows the school district the address is in, so you can check zoning with the district itself.

It sits beside the neighbourhood numbers

Read the schools with the census tract's income, rent and home-value figures and the area's crime statistics, so the neighbourhood is one picture.

What the report shows

  • The 20 nearest public schools within 3 km of the address, numbered on a map; further schools in the radius are drawn as plain dots.
  • The distance to each, and a note when the list has reached the search limit.
  • A School district tile naming the district the address falls in.
  • Census tract figures for the area, such as income and home values, in the neighbourhood section.

What it cannot tell you

  • The report lists schools by distance. It does not rate or rank them.
  • The nearest school is not always the one a child is assigned to. Assignment is set by the district.
  • Districts change boundaries, so confirm with the district before you rely on a school.

Before you buy

The report is a starting point. These are the questions it points you to.

  1. 1Which school is the address assigned to? Ask the district, with the full address.
  2. 2Look at the district's own ratings, test results and any waiting lists.
  3. 3Visit the school, and plan the daily route at rush hour.
  4. 4Check whether private and charter options nearby suit you.

Questions

How do I find the schools near an address?

Enter the address in the Property Location Report. It lists the nearest public schools with distances on a map and names the school district.

Does it rate the schools?

No. It shows where schools are and which district the address is in, not how good they are. Use the district's own information for that.

Does it include private schools?

The list is of public schools from NCES.
