New York City High School Attendance Zones for 2024-2025

School zones define the attendance boundaries for New York City high schools. The dataset includes geographic boundaries, school identifiers, and administrative details. It is published by the City of New York and was last updated in November 2024.

Use Cases

• Mapping school catchment areas using the_geom column to visualize district boundaries.
• Joining school data via DBN or HSID_No to analyze enrollment patterns by ZONED_DIST.
• Identifying the assigned high school for an address by querying the CATCHMENT or SCHOOLDIST fields.
• Analyzing administrative changes over time by tracking the EDIT_DATE and INITIALS columns.

Strengths

• Geospatial boundaries (the_geom) provided for mapping and spatial analysis.
• Includes multiple school identifiers (DBN, HSID_No) for data linkage.
• Covers all five boroughs of New York City as indicated by the Boro and Boro_Text columns.

Limitations

• Sample data and total row count are unavailable, obscuring dataset scale.
• Unknown if data includes historical zones or only the current 2024-2025 snapshot.
• Potential for missing or outdated information if school zone changes occur after the EDIT_DATE.
