Barrow County School District

Georgia · runs pre-K through grade 12

NCES ID 1300290 · (770) 867-4527

There is no ZIP Code area where Barrow County is the only school district serving the homes. It holds a real share in 7 of them and shares every one, with 5 different districts in total. A lookup that returns a single district name for any of those ZIP Codes is guessing which side of a line an address falls on.

It never has a ZIP Code to itself

The counts below come from the census blocks assigned to Barrow County, grouped by the ZIP Code area each block falls in. The Census Bureau publishes the blocks; the grouping is computed here, and it is the only place these particular numbers exist.

The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 30680 this district holds 99% of the homes; in 30622 it holds 6 homes, under half a percent. 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 in the areas it leads

Barrow County is the largest district in 4 ZIP Code areas, and not one of them is wholly its own. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 4,668 of the 32,429 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.

ZIP Code 30011 · Auburn, Georgia is a two-district area: 3,895 of its 6,368 homes are inside Barrow County, and the other 2,473 homes are with Gwinnett County. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

Barrow County holds 4,158 of the 5,313 homes in ZIP Code 30620 · Bethlehem, Georgia, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 1,155 homes with Gwinnett County and Walton County.

In ZIP Code 30666 · Statham, Georgia the split runs 3,062 to 904 and the larger part is Barrow County's: the rest is 904 homes with Oconee County and Jackson County.

Barrow County is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 30548 · Hoschton, Georgia — Jackson County leads it — and Barrow County holds 693 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

ZIP Code 30517 · Braselton, Georgia is another area where Barrow County is present without being the answer: 436 of its 5,960 homes, behind Jackson County.

Who takes the other homes in its ZIP Codes

Barrow County runs pre-K through grade 12 itself, so an address it holds sees no change of authority between grade school and high school. The districts listed below are the ones that take the other homes in the ZIP Code areas it shares — Gwinnett County, Jackson County and Walton County. They are neighbors on the same postal ground, not the next stop for its own students.

Who it shares ZIP Codes with

These districts appear alongside Barrow County in the same ZIP Code areas: Gwinnett County, Jackson County, Hall County and Oconee County. A single-name lookup for one of those areas has to choose between them, and the choice is right for some addresses and wrong for others.

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 7 of the 8 ZIP Code areas Barrow County 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.
