2013-2014 Online Elementary School Directories

The NYC DOE has released a massive database of elementary schools in the five boroughs that contains valuable information on the kindergarten application process and on whether a zoned school accepted any students from outside its zone for this school year. Below is an extract from an a post on InsideSchools.org that contains the link to the directories:

“For the first time this year, the Education Department produced hefty directories now online - one for each borough - of all elementary schools in the city. There is a page for each school, listing the school's address, phone number. the principal's email address, website and nearest public transportation. It also lists state test score results, Progress Report grades for the past two years, Quality Review scores and highlights from school surveys.”

Families with children turning five years old in 2013 may apply to kindergarten beginning Jan. 22 through March 1. You must apply even if you want your child to attend your zoned school.
