What it does
Admissions odds by priority group, test scores, demographics, and zone boundaries for every NYC public school - every figure traced to its NYC DOE / NYC Open Data source. Compare up to 4 schools, find your zoned schools by address, and also available on iPhone.
The most complete picture of a NYC public school: admissions odds by priority group, test scores, demographics, zoned partner schools, and independent rankings, all in one place with every figure sourced.
Most school-search sites summarize or sell. This one reprocesses official NYC DOE and NYC Open Data records for admissions, test scores, and demographics -- plus independently computed rankings from both SchoolDigger and Niche, shown side by side since they weigh different things and don't always agree. Neither is a public record like the rest, but both are cited and dated the same way -- and this site shows its work. What share of seats actually went to each priority group last cycle -- sibling, zoned, in-district -- parsed straight from DOE's own MySchools offer data, not summarized secondhand. Test scores, attendance, and demographics per school, broken out by grade and student group --…from nycschools.essentialx.us

A website that heatmaps your city based on your housing preferences2025 · theretowhere.com · ▲321For the past few months, I've been working on a website that answers two different questions: - Where in my city have the best travel times to all the things and people I care about? - Given a listing, how far is it from all the things and people I care about? Personally this was fueled by my own frustrations when I was apartment hunting in NYC. I was frustrating to have to juggle so many Google Maps tabs when I was evaluating a listing, and it was also annoying to not have full confidence that I was even searching in the right places. I wanted to be close to work, a Trader Joe's, and a…

Lookup the school district associated with a street address in the US2024 · github.com · ▲58I wrote a tool in Python that finds the school district associated with any given street address in the United States. Here’s how it works: An address corresponds to a single point on the map. The U.S Census Bureau has a geocoder that converts an address to latitude and longitude coordinates. School district boundaries can be represented as polygons on the map. The National Center for Education Statistics (NECS) has geographic data on school district boundaries. Once we determine which polygon the point resides in, we know the school district.

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
