Melba Joint School District 136

It never has a ZIP Code to itself

Fewer than three homes to the square mile: Melba Joint School District 136 covers 556 square miles of mostly open country. A district this thin holds a small share of any ZIP Code it touches, however much ground it covers, which is exactly why share by land area would mislead here and share by homes does not.

What one name misses in the areas it leads

Melba Joint School District 136 holds 1,059 of the 1,328 homes in ZIP Code 83641 · Melba, Idaho, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 268 homes with Marsing Joint School District 363 and Nampa School District 131; 1 home in a district too small to name here.

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 2 of the 5 ZIP Code areas Melba Joint School District 136 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.
