NCES ID 0100090 · annistonschools.com · (256) 231-5000
Anniston City covers 11,165 of the homes in 6 ZIP Code areas, but its smallest measured presence is a different thing entirely: in ZIP Code area 36277 it holds 13 of 2,336 homes, or 0.6% of them. An address in that ZIP Code is almost certainly not in this district, and a lookup that names the district without the share says the opposite. Below the half-percent line this page draws it reaches 1 further ZIP Code area, the least of them 5 homes in 36203.
A few homes at the edge of someone else's ZIP Code
11,165 homes hold 21,582 residents, about 1.9 people each. Where households are small, a district's share of the homes overstates its share of the children, and this page counts homes.

The areas it leads without holding most of the homes
Anniston City is the largest district in 3 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 8,579 of the 18,750 homes those areas hold — though in 1 of them it holds every home there is. The count is homes, not addresses, and it is the number no lookup prints.
Anniston City is the largest name in ZIP Code 36201 · Anniston, Alabama and still holds a minority of it: 4,071 of 8,882 homes. The other 4,811 homes are with Calhoun County and Oxford City. This is the shape that makes a one-name answer worst — the name is right for fewer homes than it is wrong for.
Anniston City holds 5,657 of the 9,425 homes in ZIP Code 36207 · White Plains, Alabama, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 3,768 homes with Calhoun County and Oxford City.
In ZIP Code 36205 · Anniston, Alabama the single-name answer is the true one: Anniston City holds all 443 homes counted there, and no other district holds a share worth naming.
Anniston City reaches into ZIP Code 36206 · Saks, Alabama with 976 of its 5,032 homes, behind Calhoun County. The familiar answer for that area is the other name, and it is wrong for those 976 homes.
Anniston City is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 36277 · Weaver, Alabama — Calhoun County leads it — and Anniston City holds 13 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

Have a street address?
A ZIP Code names every district that can serve the area; a street address settles which one serves a home. The Census Bureau geocoder takes an exact address and returns its school districts from the current boundary files, free and with no account.
Where this district sits
What to do next
Ask the district office to confirm your street address: look on its site for a school locator, a find my school tool or an attendance zone map, or call the office.
A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not a boundary: in 4 of the 6 ZIP Code areas Anniston City reaches, at least one other district holds a real share of the homes as well, and the line between them runs along streets. Only the district can say which side of that line an address is on.
District websites and phone numbers here come from the NCES Common Core of Data directory, 2024-25 school year, filed under the same district ID as the Census boundary files. Where it lists no usable website, none is printed rather than guessed.
If a house purchase depends on the answer, ask the district itself for written confirmation of that exact address. A listing is not a district record, and neither is this page.
Where these numbers come from
The homes were counted in the 2020 Census and the district lines are the 2026 boundary file, so a fast-growing area may have changed since; ZIP Codes here are the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Areas; a share is a share of homes, not the chance that one address is in a district; and a district is not a school attendance zone. Every source, file and caveat is on the method page.
