S3E2 is a web-based geographic information system (GIS) designed for the visualization and analysis of the socioeconomic segregation of Chile’s elementary education system of Chile. It consists of a frontend developed in JavaScript using ReactJS, React-Redux, Leaflet and D3.js, an API developed in Go and ECHO, and a documentary database man- aged with MongoDB. Data comes from Chile’s Ministry of Education, while the provisions of Law 20.248 serve as indicators of vulnerability. S3E2 graphically shows different segregation indices found in the literature, calculated at the commune level. It also allows visualizing, at this same level, the educational institutions that compose it, their basic information, and time series associated with them. S3E2 is a flexible and fast web-based GIS, with a low cost of implementation, due to the usage of free software -or at least free licensing- tools, thus serving as a template for new web-based GIS in different contexts.
