From address to school decision

Which schools come with this address?

Type any Finnish address. Lukio cutoffs and basic-school locations are national; inside the capital area you also get catchments, pre-primary zones, kindergartens and nearby services.

What you get

One address, the whole school path in one view.

Your address's official catchments, the nearest lukios with their cutoffs, and the daily-life context of the neighbourhood — from a single lookup. Built on municipal and Statistics Finland open data. No accounts, no tracking.

01

The schools your address is zoned to

Pre-primary, primary, and lower-secondary by polygon, drawn straight from the city's official admission map. Not an estimate — the exact zoning the municipality publishes.

02

Data-driven lukio comparison

Every Finnish lukio, sortable by cutoff, painotukset, special-task lines, language curriculum, lukio diplomas, and matriculation outcomes. Tune the weights, filter by your child's GPA.

03

The neighborhood, walked

Kindergartens, playgrounds, clinics, and libraries within walking distance. Plus rent, demographics, and safety context — so the choice rests on daily life, not just a school name.

Questions, briefly answered.

Short answers to the most common questions about the Finnish school path — and what kouluhaku.fi does and doesn't do.

Is the Fit score a school quality ranking?

No. Finland does not officially rank schools and kouluhaku.fi does not either. The Fit score measures access and logistics — distance, catchment, density of nearby services, competitiveness of nearby lukios — not teaching quality.

How current is the catchment data?

Catchments are normalized from municipal feeds. Current rich coverage includes Helsinki exact school/pre-primary polygons plus Espoo, Vantaa, Turku/Kaarina and Tampere pupil-area feeds. Always confirm with the school before relying on a result for a move.

Why are the Swedish-language schools missing?

Swedish-language catchment polygons are published as separate map layers and aren't yet merged into this view. Swedish-language lukios are included in the national lukio comparison.

What works outside the Helsinki capital area?

Lukio cutoffs and school locations are national. Catchments are available where a municipality publishes compatible open data; today that means Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Turku/Kaarina and Tampere. Nearby services are still Helsinki-capital-area only because they come from Service Map.

What does this cost, and what do you track?

Nothing, and nothing. No accounts, no cookies, no analytics. Searches are not retained.

Why include lukio cutoffs if quality isn't measured?

Cutoff is a competitiveness signal, not a quality one. It tells a family whether a student's GPA will reach the door. It's shown as a number, not a star.

What about peruskoulu rankings?

Finland deliberately publishes no per-school quality data for peruskoulu (grades 1–9). What does exist — and what kouluhaku.fi surfaces — is factual: the catchment, special programs available (painotettu opetus, English-medium, language tracks), and admission scores for those weighted programs. A school profile, not a verdict.
