What one name misses in the areas it leads

Buhl Joint School District 412 holds 3,803 of the 4,201 homes in ZIP Code 83316 · Buhl, Idaho, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 398 homes with Castleford School District 417 and Filer School District 413.

ZIP Code 83332 · Hagerman, Idaho is another area where Buhl Joint School District 412 is present without being the answer: 13 of its 1,189 homes, behind Hagerman Joint School District 233.

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.
Where this district sits
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 3 of the 4 ZIP Code areas Buhl Joint School District 412 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.
