A little over a week ago, Education.com launched their school boundaries project (submit your own press release for $49.95). The boundaries cover all 13,000 school districts in the United States. According to Education.com, “Currently, Education.com’s School Boundary Tool offers 100% coverage of school district information, but about 55% of school assignment information for particular U.S. home addresses.” You can see the boundaries here or get their free school boundary widget here.

Having overseen the release of the neighborhood boundary project at Zillow a few years ago, I believe this school data set is an extremely valuable and sought after one — previously unavailable, unless you had a LOT of money to spend.

I’m curious if we’ll see any innovation from the developer community like this mashup my good friend Andrew Mattie created using the Zillow neighborhood boundaries. I suppose you’ll have to ask the team at Education.com if you want the raw boundary files — not sure what their policy is on that data, but guessing they will come by and leave a comment here to clarify.

For those that want boundaries directly on your own website, take a look at their widget.
