About Big Apple Ed

Welcome! We’re excited to have you.

Big Apple Ed is your comprehensive guide to NYC schools. Our aim is simple, to provide parents, teachers, students, and all other interested parties with an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand guide to the vast amounts of information available about New York City public schools.

Every year the New York City Department of Education does an excellent job of collecting data about our schools, but who has time to sift through pages of information to find what you need to know?

Big Apple Ed has done the work for you.

Now New York City residents have an easy way to find important information about your city’s schools. By providing one place to view testing data, contact information, suspension rates, and student/teacher ratios, Big Apple Ed hopes to increase transparency and help all New York City schools improve.

Big Apple Ed was created by Jonathan Soma, Adda Birnir, and Kate Reyes for submission to the NYC Big Apps competition. Big Apple Ed makes use of data provided by The City of New York and the New York State and New York City Departments of Education. See our Resources page for a complete list of our sources.

The City of New York can not vouch for the accuracy or completeness of data provided by this web site or application or for the usefulness or integrity of the web site or application. This site provides applications using data that has been modified for use from its original source, NYC.gov, the official web site of the City of New York.
