Los Angeles Unified School District

California · runs kindergarten through grade 12

NCES ID 0622710 · lausd.org · (213) 241-1000

Los Angeles Unified covers 1,736,700 of the homes in 170 ZIP Code areas, but its smallest measured presence is a different thing entirely: in ZIP Code area 90505 it holds 115 of 14,927 homes, or 0.8% 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 28 further ZIP Code areas, the least of them no homes at all in 90052.

A few homes at the edge of someone else's ZIP Code

At 2,481 homes to the square mile this is city territory, and district lines in a city follow streets. Los Angeles Unified covers 700 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.

Los Angeles Unified is the largest district in 124 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 34,359 of the 1,744,627 homes those areas hold — though in 101 of them it holds every home there is. The count is homes, not addresses, and it is the number no lookup prints.

Los Angeles Unified holds 15,435 of the 25,501 homes in ZIP Code 90201 · Bell Gardens, California, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 10,066 homes with Montebello Unified and Downey Unified.

ZIP Code 90022 · East Los Angeles, California is a two-district area: 10,240 of its 17,963 homes are inside Los Angeles Unified, and the other 7,723 homes are with Montebello Unified. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

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 33 of the 170 ZIP Code areas Los Angeles Unified 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.
