What one name misses in the areas it leads

Paragould is the largest district in 2 ZIP Code areas, and not one of them is wholly its own. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 7,583 of the 16,797 homes those areas hold. That count is computed here from census blocks; the lookups that answer this question with a single name never print it.

Paragould holds 9,035 of the 16,545 homes in ZIP Code 72450 · Paragould, Arkansas, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 7,464 homes with Greene County Technical and Marmaduke; 46 homes in a district too small to name here.

ZIP Code 72412 · Dalton, Arkansas is a two-district area: 179 of its 252 homes are inside Paragould, and the other 73 homes are with Greene County Technical. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

Paragould is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 72443 · Marmaduke, Arkansas — Marmaduke leads it — and Paragould holds 97 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

Paragould reaches into ZIP Code 72436 · Lafe, Arkansas with 85 of its 426 homes; 3 districts there hold a real share of it, and Marmaduke leads them. The familiar answer for that area is one of the others, and it is wrong for those 85 homes.

Who takes the other homes in its ZIP Codes

Paragould runs pre-K through grade 12 itself, so an address it holds sees no change of authority between grade school and high school.

They are neighbors on the same postal ground, not the next stop for its own students.

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.

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 5 ZIP Code areas Paragould 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.
