Barrow County School District

Georgia · runs pre-K through grade 12

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.

Where this district sits

What to do next

Ask the district office to confirm your street address. A district settles that question on its own site: look for a school locator, a find my school tool, or an attendance zone map. Where there is none, ask the office itself.

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.

This site links to no district website. None of the federal files it is built from publishes one, and a guessed address is worse than none. It is the district office, not a search engine, that settles an address.

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.

What this cannot tell you

The homes were counted in the 2020 Census and the district lines are the 2026 boundary file. Nothing on this page adjusts one to the other. Where houses have been built or cleared since the count, a share here describes the place as it was counted rather than as it stands today, and in the fastest-growing ZIP Code areas that gap is the largest single source of error on this site.

A share on this page is a share of the homes in the ZIP Code area, not a probability for any particular address. Enrollment is decided by street address, and a district may run magnet, charter or choice programs that ignore the boundary entirely. If a decision depends on the answer, the district office is the only authority; this page shows what the federal boundary files say and when they were published.

A district boundary is not a school attendance zone. This site never says which school an address is assigned to: no current national dataset of attendance zones exists, and the district draws them itself. Nor is anything here endorsed or certified by the Census Bureau; we use their published files, and that is the whole of the relationship.

A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not an area. What is mapped here is the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Area, the closest published approximation to it. The two are not identical, and a handful of ZIP Codes used only for post office boxes or single buildings have no tabulation area at all.

Where these numbers come from

School district boundaries come from the Census Bureau's Census Geographic Relationship File, current 2026 vintage, which assigns every census block to a unified district or to an elementary and a secondary district. Homes and residents in each block come from the 2020 Census Redistricting Data (PL 94-171), H1_001 and P1_001. The ZIP Code areas come from the same Geographic Relationship File, block to ZIP Code Tabulation Area. District names and grade ranges come from the Census Gazetteer 2025, with 2020 for districts no longer listed.

The place name printed beside a ZIP Code comes from the Census 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Area relationship files: place, county subdivision and county, taken 2026-09-06. It is a label rather than a measurement: the Census Bureau does not publish which post office a ZIP Code belongs to, so the place named is the one covering the most land inside the area, not the city the Postal Service prints on an envelope.

Everything else on this page — the shares, the counts of districts per ZIP, the comparison between the two grade bands, the rankings — is computed here from those files. The source publishes none of it. Snapshot taken 2026-09-03.
