SchoolFinder

SchoolFinder by SchoolMint gives districts a modern, mobile-friendly way to showcase every school, program, and opportunity they offer. Think of it as a 24/7 online school choice fair that puts each of your schools in their best light possible.

Below, you’ll find answers to common questions about SchoolFinder.

SchoolFinder is a school search and comparison tool that helps districts showcase their schools and helps families easily find and explore their educational options. It acts as an interactive, mobile-friendly directory where parents can search for schools based on location, programs, and interests — all within your district.

SchoolFinder gathers district-approved data for each school (e.g., programs, services, and key information) and presents it in a searchable, user-friendly platform. Families can filter by grade, program type, and location to find schools that meet their needs, compare them side by side, and proceed directly to the district’s enrollment process.

SchoolFinder is designed for both districts and families:

  • Districts use it to promote their schools, highlight programs, and provide equitable access to information.
  • Families use it to easily explore and compare schools to find the right fit for their child.

Unlike static directories or maps, SchoolFinder is dynamic, searchable, and fully customizable by the district. It goes beyond basic listings by allowing families to filter by programs, interests, and services and by giving districts full control over the content and presentation of their schools.

SchoolFinder was the first K-12 school search and comparison platform, launched by SchoolMint more than 10 years ago. Since then, it has been refined to support equity, accuracy, and usability for millions of families across the country.

By showcasing every school equally and making program information easy to find, SchoolFinder helps districts attract more families, increase visibility for underselected schools, and help families make informed enrollment decisions.

For families, SchoolFinder removes barriers to access (such as unclear information, inconsistent school listings, or lack of multilingual support).

For districts, SchoolFinder replaces outdated directories, eliminates the need for print brochures/pamphlets, static PDFs, and phone-based inquiries with a centralized, accurate, and easy-to-update online tool.

Parents/guardians simply enter their home address, child’s grade, and program preferences (for example, a specific sport or available program). SchoolFinder instantly displays all schools that meet those criteria, helping families compare options, learn about each campus, and confidently choose a school.

Each school profile can include:

  • Basic details like address, grade levels, and contact information
  • School highlights and unique programs
  • Photos, videos, and testimonials
  • Available services (e.g., transportation, before/after care, dual-language options, etc.)
