Proximity develops, maintains, and provides access to K-12 school and school district mapping and related spatial analysis tools. Map files (shapefiles) include school point (building/campus location) files and school district boundary files. These files may be used for orienteering and visually based analyses using mapping and GIS (geographic information system) applications.
