Long Island school district lookup
Find the school district for any Long Island address. Search by street and town, and we pull the New York State assignment plus the estimated bill and a link to the district’s median bill and ranking.
Include the town or hamlet. Suffolk addresses often share a house number and street name with Nassau ones.
The district sets most of the bill
Long Island has 121 school districts across Nassau and Suffolk. School tax is 60–75% of the total bill, far more than the town or county share, so two homes a block apart can pay very different amounts if they sit in different districts. Know the district before you buy or rent.
The district sets your school tax rate, your children’s schools and a real share of resale value. Median bills run from around $5,000 a year in the cheapest districts to over $30,000 in the priciest.
Common pitfalls
- A ZIP code is not a district. Many Long Island ZIP codes span two to five districts.
- Same street, different district. Some boundaries run down the middle of a street. Check the parcel.
- New construction. District assignments can lag the parcel data by a year or two on newly subdivided lots.
- Several elementary schools. A district may assign elementary schools by neighborhood; this tool shows the district only.
School district assignments come from New York State (ORPTS) parcel data. Confirm with the district registrar before enrolling a child; boundaries occasionally shift and some parcels straddle them.
