The 2024 cartographic boundary KMLs are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible, generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based files while others are available only as state-based files. School Districts are single-purpose administrative units within which local officials provide public educational services for the area's residents. The Census Bureau obtains the boundaries, names, local education agency codes, grade ranges, and school district levels for school districts from state officials for the primary purpose of providing the U.S. Department of Education with estimates of the number of children in poverty within each school district. This information serves as the basis for the Department of Education to determine the annual allocation of Title I funding to states and school districts. The cartographic boundary files include separate files for elementary, secondary and unified school districts. The generalized school district boundaries in this file are based on those in effect for the 2023-2024 school year, i.e., in operation as of January 1, 2024.

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation.

This layer serves as the authoritative geographic data source for all school district area boundaries in California. School districts are single purpose governmental units that operate schools and provide public educational services to residents within geographically defined areas. Agencies considered school districts that do not use geographically defined service areas to determine enrollment are excluded from this data set. In order to view districts represented as point locations, please see the "California School District Offices" layer. The school districts in this layer are enriched with additional district-level attribute information from the California Department of Education's data collections. These data elements add meaningful statistical and descriptive information that can be visualized and analyzed on a map and used to advance education research or inform decision making.School districts are categorized as either elementary (primary), high (secondary) or unified based on the general grade range of the schools operated by the district. Elementary school districts provide education to the lower grade/age levels and the high school districts provide education to the upper grade/age levels while unified school districts provide education to all grade/age levels in their service areas. Boundaries for the elementary, high and unified school district layers are combined into a single file. The resulting composite layer includes areas of overlapping boundaries since elementary and high school districts each serve a different grade range of students within the same territory. The 'DistrictType' field can be used to filter and display districts separately by type. Boundary lines are maintained by the California Department of Education (CDE) and are effective in the 2022-23 academic year . The CDE works collaboratively with the US Census Bureau to update and maintain boundary information as part of the federal School District Review Program (SDRP). The Census Bureau uses these school district boundaries to develop annual estimates of children in poverty to help the U.S. Department of Education determine the annual allocation of Title I funding to states and school districts. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) also uses the school district boundaries to develop a broad collection of district-level demographic estimates from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS).The school district enrollment and demographic information are based on student enrollment counts collected on Fall Census Day (first Wednesday in October) in the 2022-23 academic year. These data elements are collected by the CDE through the California Longitudinal Achievement System (CALPADS) and can be accessed as publicly downloadable files from the Data & Statistics web page on the CDE website https://www.cde.ca.gov/ds.

This web map displays the California Department of Education's (CDE) core set of geographic data layers. This content represents the authoritative source for all statewide public school site locations and school district service areas boundaries for the 2018-19 academic year. The map also includes school and district layers enriched with student demographic and performance information from the California Department of Education's data collections. These data elements add meaningful statistical and descriptive information that can be visualized and analyzed on a map and used to advance education research or inform decision making.

Unified School Districts with district and trustee area boundaries, within the extent of Alameda County; boundaries have been updated to show changes for Oakland 2013 redistricting and new Dublin USD Trustee Areas in 2018. Boundaries represent voting districts (i.e., district designation for each address) and therefore may align with parcel boundaries in cases where parcels (and sometimes residences) are divided by the true city/district boundary.

This file represents the boundaries of all reported public school attendance areas in the state of Minnesota for school year 2025-26. Attendance areas attempt to represent the detailed sub-district breakdowns that determine where students attend elementary, middle, and high schools. These areas are unique to each public school system, and this file is only a generalization of those breakdowns.

In most cases, users are interested in the "dissolved" school district boundaries, without attendance area breakdowns. Those boundaries are available in a separate resource, with one record for each independent, common, and special school district in Minnesota. For many districts that operate only a few schools, attendance area breakdowns are not used or defined; in those cases, attendance areas are equivalent to district boundaries.

Each year Minnesota public school systems are asked to report any changes to their elementary, middle and high school attendance area boundaries. This file was developed from this annual information. Users should be aware that reporting compliance is not mandatory, so the information included is only as accurate as provided by those independent, common, and special school districts. Actual decisions on where students attend which schools are made entirely by the districts, and changes are not always reported to MDE.

Alaska school district boundaries and addresses. Replacing former School District geometries (as of Nov 3, 2022). Each school district boundary (geometry, not attributes) is derived from one of three sources. 1. Borough and Census Area Boundaries (as a proxy for school districts in the organized borough). https://dcra-cdo-dcced.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/DCCED::alaska-borough-and-census-area-boundaries/about2. Regional Educational Attendance Area Boundaries (school districts in the unorganized borough). A Regional Educational Attendance Area (REAA) is an educational area that is established in an unorganized borough of the state established by AS 14.08.031(a). REAA elections administered by the Division of Elections. This dataset is revised for recasting of REAA sections using 2020 Census data. The 2020 version is the first time REAA boundaries were fully created using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. Revised for the 2022 move of the city of Rampart from Yukon Flats to Yukon-Koyukuk. 3. City Boundaries - Boundaries are based on the actual certificates issued by the Local Boundary Commission. https://dcra-cdo-dcced.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/DCCED::city-boundaries/aboutFor more information, see https://education.alaska.gov/DOE_Rolodex/SchoolCalendar/DistrictAndSchoolInfo/DistrictDetails

Schools in Montgomery County serve students residing in a specific area. These high school boundaries denote the location of residence that fall in a specific high school service area. Elementary school service areas nest inside middle school service areas which, in turn, nest inside high school service areas.For more information, contact: GIS Manager Information Technology & Innovation (ITI) Montgomery County Planning Department, MNCPPC T: 301-650-5620

A recent New York Times article examines one of the biggest drivers in a families' decision to leave cities: school. Using data from a number of sources, the New York Times developed charts that look at school performance and median home sale price per square foot for five metro areas including New York/New Jersey, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, and Minneapolis.For most of the cities studied, home prices rise with the quality of the school district but a number of districts break this pattern. The map shown highlights five Bay Area schools that perform above average, and have below average housing costs.The New York Times used median price per square foot to measure housing costs and the median number of grades ahead (or behind) for school district quality. In the San Francisco Bay Region, the price per square foot was around $500 while students were .28 grades ahead of their grade placement. The five Bay Area schools that were selected had the lowest home prices and the best performing schools in the region.Source: New York Times

The point map shows the obesity rate by grade level for public school districts in New York State, exclusive of New York City, from the Student Weight Status Category Reporting System (SWSCR). The initial view of the map is broken up into large geographic areas and displays the number of public school districts in each area. To drill down to a smaller geographic area, click directly on the area of the map or click the plus sign to zoom in on the map. The small blue dots represent school district offices, not the location of specific schools. Clicking on a dot will bring up a fly-out for that district, with information about the obesity rate, grade level, county, region and school years. You can click “next” on the fly-out to view the rate for all three grade levels (elementary, middle/high and district total). Please note that if the obesity rate value is blank on a given flyout, it means that obesity data for this school district and grade level could not be reported to the NYSDOH due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). For more information on FERPA, please refer to the Student Weight Overview document by clicking on the "About" tab. The map can be filtered by grade level by changing the options under the Filter tab. Removing the school district filter is not recommended. The map is based on data collected through the SWSCR. New York City public school districts, BOCES, charter, private and 4201 designated schools are exempt from reporting data to the SWSCR system.

This file is a geodatabase that includes boundaries for all public school district and public school attendance areas throughout Minnesota, one file for each school year in the 2010 decade. Every year Minnesota school districts report changes to their elementary, middle and high school attendance area and district boundaries. Each file in this group was developed from this annual information and is now provided as historical information. This metadata summarizes the content of these files but individual metadata records are also included for each annual file. The fall 2020 update is the final update to this data resource.
