NYC Schools is an independent guide to every public school and early-childhood program in New York City, built on the same data pipeline as nycschools.essentialx.us, with tools for when you're actually mid-decision. BUILD YOUR MYSCHOOLS LIST Enter any address and get a ranked application list: your zoned school, the programs within your travel limit, and a chance for each one based on how seats were filled in the DOE's published admissions results. Add your family's details (free lunch, English language learner, sibling) and the chances update. Reorder, remove or add choices, and see why each school sits where it does. Try a free sample list for 425 6th Ave before you subscribe. 2-K, 3-K & PRE-K Browse every NYC program for 2-K, 3-K and Pre-K by level, district, type or distance. Each program page shows seats, last year's applicants, the school day, whether it's zoned-only, what the site offers, and how to apply on MySchools. NEVER MISS A TOUR OR DEADLINE Save schools and see their tours and open houses, plus the DOE's admissions dates for your child's grades, on one calendar. Get reminders a week before and the night before, and add any event to your own calendar. EXPLORE ANY ADDRESS See the application list for any address in the city, on a map, to compare neighborhoods before you move or apply. FIND YOUR ZONED SCHOOLS Enter any address and see the exact elementary, middle and high schools zoned for it, computed from NYC DOE's own zone boundary files, not a lookup table someone typed by hand. SEARCH THE FULL DIRECTORY Every NYC public school, filterable by borough, grade level and zoned status, sortable by quality, admissions odds or independent rankings. COMPARE UP TO 4 SCHOOLS Line up zoning, quality metrics, demographics and admissions data side by side for up to four schools at once.

EVERY FIGURE SOURCED School quality, demographics and admissions data all come from NYC DOE and NYC Open Data, reprocessed but never altered.

Verdict

On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
