# Search Schools

`GET /admin/schools/search`

Schools ranked by resemblance to `q`, one light page at a time.

Built for the admin MCP (EXC-859): the unpaginated list is larger than
what an LLM client keeps from a tool result. An empty `q` pages through
every school by name.

## Query parameters

- `q` string — Free text: name, email domain, UAI or city
- `limit` integer
- `offset` integer
