Public School
Public schools in the US are funded by local property taxes and state funds, providing free education (K-12) to all children residing in the district — regardless of immigration status, visa type, or citizenship. School quality varies significantly by district, making location a critical factor in real estate decisions. Top NYC public school districts (District 2, 3, and 26) are highly competitive. Enrollment requires proof of residency (lease or utility bill) and immunization records. Some cities have specialized/gifted programs and charter schools (publicly funded, independently operated).
