Default Is there a map of school-district boundaries?

Can someone point me to a map of school district boundaries for all Long Island, elementary through HS? We've looked for this information but can't seem to find it easily. I don't want to look up every school to find its boundary, but see a map, or the equivalent of a map, and learn which school district any given road/town would be -- where the district lines are drawn.

Learning that we live one street away from the "better" elementary school in our district has been a huge bummer for me.

Thank you.

It seems as though the MLS searches either HS districts or districts that don't have their own HS. Since I know so little about elementary schools, I'd like to see where those boundaries are.

I'd also like to see it in reverse: town --> school.
And where exactly are the district lines drawn?

We have a one-year-old son and, as I wrote, learning I'd be perfectly happy with the elemenary school whose boundary is one street away is killing me right now in the housing slump -- we could be here through elem and be perfectly happy, but now I question selling our house now vs three years from now. This is the sort of info that isn't readily available, or not by searching by school district on the MLSLI.

Elementary school lines can be even muddier.

Truth be told most Elementary schools are decent on LI.
It JHS and HS where the problems start.

Why not ask the board about the town and Elementary school.
Perhaps the district website has a map for your area?
Call Admin.

If you do find a map for all of LI,please post it.

Buy yourself a Hagstrom suffolk county street map. They have a blue outline showing what blocks are zoned for each school district.

You cannot tell from this map specific houses/addresses of course, but is is a bit helpful. That is the only thing I can recommend, other than when you actually go to see the house you will be told what district it is zoned for. Or MLS.

I would buy in the better district now even if it makes things tight. Better for resale.

I am not sure of Nassau County, but in Nassau if you go to
Nassau County Assessors Office you can search a property by address, it will tell you the School District # - also gives you information on taxes etc ... as for a boundary list, I am unsure if anyone exists, I know in my neighborhood, over the past years due to influx, boundaries and schools are re done - hope this helps a little.

If you are looking for a specific school the realtor can that houses for sales in a certain district.
