What matters to your family?

Choose only what matters. No child profile or location required.

Support and program availability cannot be verified from these snapshots. Selecting a need creates questions to ask, never a claim of suitability.

Optional: reported learning-gain minimums

Percentages of tested students showing gains, not expected progress for your child. Different school types and cohorts are not directly equivalent.

Check a precise location

Attendance zones need a precise point, not a neighborhood center.

Your exact coordinates go to this app’s server and are omitted from its access log. Sending a chat also shares your active search location with the configured model. OpenStreetMap receives requests for the displayed map area, not your exact home/search point; a nearby view can reveal the approximate area. You can switch to the offline map under Map options & sources.

Advanced: exact coordinates for zoning

Enter the exact point you want to check, not a neighborhood center. This is not an address lookup. Coordinates are not prefilled from approximate centers.

A clearer picture of nearby schools

Your location, your choice

Start countywide or choose an approximate neighborhood center. Type a school name or neighborhood in the search box. Choose a neighborhood suggestion to explore nearby; remove it to search all Miami-Dade. Browser location is optional and requires permission. Finder coordinates go to this app’s server and are omitted from its access log. Sending a chat also shares your active search location with the configured model. Neighborhood centers cannot establish your attendance assignment.

Local options, real source data

Explore county source records for public, charter and private schools, childcare and Head Start. Records may overlap across sectors and are not a verified active-provider census. Life stages and programs require source evidence; unknowns are not confirmed matches. Public-school evidence retains the dated academic profiles and comparison. Distances are straight-line, not commute estimates.

Read grades in context

Letter grades and learning gains come from bundled Florida Department of Education 2024–2026 snapshots. Missing results are marked as unavailable, never treated as zero. These are reported measures, not our ratings or predictions for your child.

Check before you choose

Nearby doesn’t mean you’re in the attendance zone or that seats are available. Records and grade ranges can be out of date. Verify directly with the school and M-DCPS.

Reported snapshots, not a ranking. Missing evidence is unavailable, never zero. Cohorts and grading rules can change between years.

Snapshot attendance-zone matches

These are snapshot polygon matches, not a personal assignment or admission guarantee. Shared edges can return multiple matches. Confirm with M-DCPS before making a decision.
