New York City School Locations and Administrative Data

New York City's Department of Education provides location and administrative details for schools from 2019 to 2020. The dataset includes fields such as location_name, Borough_block_lot, Administrative_District_Name, and Principal_phone_number. It was published by data.cityofnewyork.us and last updated in November 2024.

Use Cases

• Analyze school distribution by Borough_block_lot and Community_district to identify geographic service gaps.
• Map school locations using LONGITUDE and Y_COORDINATE for spatial analysis of proximity to community resources.
• Study administrative hierarchies by linking schools to their HighSchool_Network_Superintendent and Administrative_District_Code.
• Correlate school operational details like open_date and Status_descriptions with community demographics from Census_tract.

Strengths

• Contains precise geospatial coordinates (LONGITUDE, Y_COORDINATE) for mapping.
• Includes over 25 administrative and location-specific columns for detailed analysis.

Limitations

• Temporal coverage is limited to the 2019-2020 fiscal_year, which may not reflect current conditions.
• Unknown row count prevents assessment of dataset completeness and representativeness.
