School Districts of NYS.

School District boundaries for New York City. School districts are administrative areas defined by New York City Department of Education (DOE). School districts are not the same as the school zones that are used by DOE for school assignment at the elementary or middle school level. All previously released versions of this data are available on the DCP Website: BYTES of the BIG APPLE. Current version: 25c

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. 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. TIGER/Line Shapefiles include separate shapefiles for elementary, secondary and unified school districts. The school district boundaries are those in effect for the 2021-2022 school year, i.e., in operation as of January 1, 2022.

This layer shows School District Boundaries in Westchester County. The school district boundaries are coded by line and identified by polygon label. School district lines were modified in 2017 to conform with municipal outbound boundaries. Inland boundaries are generalized and derived from various sources including local tax maps and master plans, school district maps and the NYS Office of Real Property Services (NYS ORPS). District boundaries were verified by each of the school districts.

This is an ESRI shape file of school point locations based on the official address. It includes some additional basic and pertinent information needed to link to other data sources. It also includes some basic school information such as Name, Address, Principal, and Principal’s contact information.

This resource is a member of a series. 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) System (MTS). The MTS 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. Elementary School Districts are 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 aged 5 through 17 in families 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 TIGER/Line shapefiles include separate shapefiles for elementary, secondary, and unified school districts, and school district administrative areas. The school district boundaries are those in effect for the 2023-2024 school year, i.e., in operation as of January 1, 2024.

This School District Boundaries GIS layer delineates the geographic boundaries of public school districts within York County, Pennsylvania. This spatial dataset includes detailed polygon features representing each school district, attributed with relevant metadata such as district name, district type (e.g., elementary, secondary, unified), district code, and jurisdictional identifiers (e.g., county, state, or region). Developed using authoritative data sources such as state education departments and local government records, this layer is intended for use in educational planning, demographic analysis, resource allocation, and policy development. The layer supports spatial analysis in relation to population density, transportation networks, socioeconomic indicators, and land use. Regular updates ensure alignment with changes due to redistricting, annexation, or other administrative modifications. The dataset is compatible with standard GIS software and adheres to common geospatial data formats and projections.

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.

School Districts as shown on the Sullivan County Tax Maps which are used for taxation and assessment. The School Districts feature layer is available for download by the public. Data can then be used to perform analysis, as a reference layer in maps created by the user, and/or for data visualization. Data is also used by GIS staff to create maps and apps for public use. Data was mapped using the NAD 1983 State Plane New York East FIPS 3101 Feet projection.

School District boundaries for New York City.

History

Additional geodata can be very useful in many directions of the data analysis, and New York City has a lot of open information to make this work much easier.

I've created this dataset about NYC School Districts for combining with educational and demographical information.

Content

The data about areas, shapes, and coordinates of NYC School Districts can be found in the next five files:

• nysd.dbf
• nysd.prj
• nysd.shp
• nysd.shp.xml
• nysd.shx

The files were downloaded from the official site NYC Department of City Planning. Open Data

Here the Lambert conformal conic projection (LCC) has the Earth Geodetic Parameter Set (EPSG) = 2263. The World Geodetic System 1984, used in GPS, has EPSG = 4326.

Acknowledgments

This information was received from the official and free source and it is possible to download other shapefiles and to view the metadata for New York City Political, Administrative and Census geographies.

Usage

This dataset can be used to visualize data in the form of geographic maps and charts.

Improvement

The data could be transformed into a wider information system with statistics about education in NYC.

The 2023 cartographic boundary shapefiles 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.

This polygon shapefile represents the elementary school district boundaries in New York. School districts are geographic entities within which state, county, or local officials provide public educational services for the area's residents. The U.S. Census Bureau obtains the boundaries and names for school districts from state officials. The U.S. Census Bureau first provided data for school districts in the 1970 census. For Census 2000, the U.S. Census Bureau tabulated data for three types of school districts: elementary, secondary, and unified. Each school district is assigned a five-digit code that is unique within state. School district codes are assigned by the Department of Education and are not necessarily in alphabetical order by school district name.
