U.S. Elementary, Secondary and Unified School District Shapefile Download


Note: First, take a look at the maps on the left.

A Note About How Your GIS Maps Will Look

The image(s) on this page are examples of how these shapefiles may look when loaded into a GIS program. Your GIS maps may not look exactly like this. Each GIS program is different. Shapefiles themselves are a collection of points, lines or polygons. They have no attributes. It is up to you, the user, to define colors, line width, symbols and other attributes within the limits and capabilities of the GIS programs you are using.

You may not create copies of the shapefiles for the use of others whether for personal or commercial use. You may not resell the shapefiles.
