confused by LI's School District (Union, Syosset: house, living, zip code)

[anesthetic]

I am looking at one house at Jericho. its address says it belongs to Jericho but the school district is Syosset. Does that kids living there can only go to schools of Syosset district?

BTW is there any website telling the school names by address? such like nyc education dept website. u just need to type your address it tells you all schools (elementary, middle and high schools)?

really appreciate your info

I'm guessing that you're looking in the F-section (all the streets begin with a 'F') of East Birchwood, which is in the Hamlet of Syosset ("Jericho, NY 11735" mailing address) as well as in the Syosset Central School District.

In the southwest part of Jericho, addresses there may be "Westbury, NY 11590" but those homes are in the Hamlet of iJericho as well as in the Jericho Union Free School District.

On LI, You Ain't Where You Think You Are, rev. 3 may help you understand the great geographic confusions caused by non-conforming ZIP Code postal zones.

Yes; unless you want to pay a non-resident tuition on a space available basis, in addition to your Syosset Central School District property tax, so that you can send your kids to some other school district.

Among other things, the Census Bureau's online address search function also indicates in which school district an address is located.

anesthetic, you're welcome.

In case you are unfamiliar with the local geography, I've sent you an explanation of the very, very confusing geography of "Lawn Guyland" as a DM (Direct Message).
