Huntington Beach Union High School District

It never has a ZIP Code to itself

At 2,719 homes to the square mile this is city territory, and district lines in a city follow streets. Huntington Beach Union High covers 45 square miles in all — small enough that a single ZIP Code area can hold most of it, and several ZIP Codes can cut across it.

The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 92647 this district holds 100% of the homes; in 92626 it holds no homes at all. Same district, opposite answers, and a lookup that names it without the share tells the second household the same thing as the first.

What one name misses, and what changes later

Huntington Beach Union High is the largest district in 8 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the high school answer misses 13,429 of the 132,829 homes those areas hold — though in 5 of them it holds every home there is for high school. The count is homes, not addresses, and it is the number no lookup prints.

Huntington Beach Union High holds 20,582 of the 27,916 homes in ZIP Code 92683 · Westminster, California, so its name is the right high school answer for most of the area and the wrong one for the rest: 7,334 homes with Garden Grove Unified.

In ZIP Code 92708 · Fountain Valley, California the split runs 13,595 to 5,994 and the larger part is Huntington Beach Union High's: the rest is 5,994 homes with Garden Grove Unified.

ZIP Code 92649 · Huntington Beach, California is a two-district area for high school: 15,284 of its 15,385 homes are inside Huntington Beach Union High, and the other 101 homes are with Los Alamitos Unified. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

Huntington Beach Union High holds all 511 homes counted for high school in ZIP Code 90742 · Huntington Beach, California, and no other high school district holds a share worth naming. For grade school the same homes are named for Huntington Beach City Elementary (511 homes), so a single name answers only one of the two questions there.

ZIP Code 92646 · Huntington Beach, California is another area where Huntington Beach Union High holds every home counted for high school — 22,344 homes — and for grade school the same homes are named for Huntington Beach City Elementary (15,391 homes), Fountain Valley Elementary (6,201 homes) and Ocean View Elementary (752 homes).

Huntington Beach Union High reaches into ZIP Code 92844 · Garden Grove, California with 2,740 of its 6,753 homes; 3 districts there hold a real share of it, and Garden Grove Unified leads them. The familiar answer for that area is one of the others, and it is wrong for those 2,740 homes.

The elementary districts that feed it

Students arrive at Huntington Beach Union High from 4 districts that run the lower grades in the same ZIP Code areas — Ocean View Elementary, which sends 32%, Huntington Beach City Elementary, which sends 31% and Westminster, which sends 22%. An address on that ground belongs to two districts at once, one for grade school and this one for high school, and neither name is the whole answer.

• Huntington Beach City Elementary School District31% of Huntington Beach Union High's homes come from here
• Westminster School District22% of Huntington Beach Union High's homes come from here

This list is an estimate, names as well as percentages. The snapshot behind this site keeps the homes each district holds in each ZIP Code area, not the pair of districts on each census block, so a district is listed here when it runs the other band in a ZIP Code area this one shares, and each percentage spreads that area's homes across those districts in proportion to the share each holds there. Unified districts are left out: a block in a unified district belongs to no elementary or secondary district. Read the percentages as the size of the crossing, not as a count of houses.

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 9 of the 12 ZIP Code areas Huntington Beach Union High 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.
