Shasta Union High School District

It never has a ZIP Code to itself

Shasta Union High covers 1,820 square miles, and the ZIP Code areas inside it are small by comparison. Its 44,958 homes are spread thinly enough that the postal map and the school map have little reason to agree anywhere.

The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 96069 this district holds 100% of the homes; in 96075 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

Shasta Union High is the largest district in 15 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the high school answer misses 11,881 of the 56,543 homes those areas hold — though in 8 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.

ZIP Code 96003 · Redding, California is a two-district area for high school: 11,795 of its 19,960 homes are inside Shasta Union High, and the other 8,165 homes are with Gateway Unified. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

In ZIP Code 96002 · Redding, California the split runs 10,582 to 3,409 and the larger part is Shasta Union High's: the rest is 3,409 homes with Anderson Union High.

Shasta Union High holds 14,541 of the 14,672 homes in ZIP Code 96001 · Redding, California, so its name is the right high school answer for most of the area and the wrong one for the rest: 131 homes with Anderson Union High.

In ZIP Code 96088 · Shingletown, California the split runs 2,582 to 105 and the larger part is Shasta Union High's: the rest is 105 homes with Anderson Union High and Red Bluff Joint Union High.

Shasta Union High holds all 462 homes counted for high school in ZIP Code 96008 · Bella Vista, California, and no other high school district holds a share worth naming. For grade school the same homes are named for Bella Vista Elementary (391 homes) and Mountain Union Elementary (71 homes), so a single name answers only one of the two questions there.

Shasta Union High is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 96007 · Happy Valley, California — Anderson Union High leads it — and Shasta Union High holds 260 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

In ZIP Code 96076 · Platina, California this district is one name among 5. Mountain Valley Unified leads with the largest share and Shasta Union High holds 35 of the 123 homes counted there; no single name describes that area at all.

The elementary districts that feed it

Students arrive at Shasta Union High from 6 districts that run the lower grades in the same ZIP Code areas — Redding Elementary, which sends 36%, Enterprise Elementary, which sends 25% and Columbia Elementary, which sends 8.4%. 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.

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.

Who it shares ZIP Codes with

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 17 of the 24 ZIP Code areas Shasta 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.
