Long Island school district lookup

Find the school district for any Long Island address. Search by street + town — we pull the official NY State assignment plus median tax bill, district size, and where it ranks among LI's 120 school districts.

Tip: include the town or hamlet name. Suffolk addresses often share a number with Nassau ones.

Public data. School district assignments are sourced from the NY State Office of Real Property Tax Services (ORPTS) parcel-level data. Always confirm with your district registrar before enrolling a child — district boundaries occasionally shift, and some parcels straddle boundaries.

Why this matters on Long Island

Long Island has 120 school districts spread across Nassau and Suffolk counties. School tax makes up 60-75% of your total property tax bill — far more than the town or county shares. Two homes one block apart can have completely different bills if they're in different districts. Knowing your district before buying or renting is critical.

The district you're in determines your school tax rate, your kids' schools, and a meaningful slice of your home's resale value. Median bills across LI districts range from around $5,000/yr in the cheapest to over $30,000/yr in the priciest.

Common pitfalls

ZIP code ≠ district. Many LI ZIPs span 2-5 different districts. Don't assume district from ZIP alone.
"Same street, different district." Some boundaries run mid-street. Check the specific parcel.
New construction. District assignment can lag the parcel database by a year or two for newly subdivided lots.
Multiple campuses. A district may have multiple elementary schools assigned by neighborhood — this tool only shows the district itself.
