For families with children entering middle or high school next fall, the school search process is well underway.

Open houses, tours and fairs. Admissions criteria. Deadlines.

It's complicated. 

That's why SchoolBook has updated the individual school profiles in our search tool, which brings together data from multiple sources and includes things like enrollment, demographics, and how a school’s test scores compare to the rest of the city. And it's offered in Spanish and Chinese, too. 

An extra bonus for middle schools: families can see schools closest to home. If you type in your address the finder should display schools near you and those in your district first. Borough-wide and city-wide schools are listed next. For reminders and guidance through the application process, sign up for the SchoolBook middle school newsletter below.

Applications are due on Dec. 1.
