The Redfin search function by school district is good, although it doesn't always have all the boundaries up to date. That's more of an issue in a place like Loudoun that continues to open new schools than in the closet-in suburbs.

MRIS, who powers our MLS system doesn't require that we enter school information and many do not. As agents and if they know how, we can set up a search within school boundaries and will include properties in which the agent has not entered the school information. As boundaries do change, I would still suggest verifying if its near a border.


RedFin does it automatically. You're not going to get a realtor to create you custom shape files. They don't even know how.

Go onto the respective school djstrict's website and go to "find schools" or whatever is similar. Most school district websites have a place where you can enter an address and it will show the currently zoned schools

You can also search by school on this site I found:

Although that may only be for Virginia.
