SABIN:School Attendance Boundary Information System

The College of William & Mary and the Minnesota Population Center have launched the new School Attendance Boundary Information System funded by the National Science Foundation to assemble, harmonize, and disseminate GIS data for grade-specific school attendance embedded with school districts throughout the United States. In addition to GIS data for school attendance boundaries, SABINS also provides:

• Census data tabulated for the school attendance boundaries
• Crosswalk tables that link school attendance boundaries to data from the U.S. Dept. of Education's Common core of Data.

Also the system allows:

• download Census data for multiple grade levels in one extract
• download GIS data fro multiple grade levels in one extract
• constrain or expand data searches by specifying any combination of topics or datasets.
