Bremen Community High School District 228

It never has a ZIP Code to itself

At 1,166 homes to the square mile this is city territory, and district lines in a city follow streets. Bremen Community High School District 228 covers 31 square miles in all — small enough that a single ZIP Code area can hold most of it, and several ZIP Codes can cut across it.

The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 60445 this district holds 100% of the homes; in 60472 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.

The areas it leads without holding most of the homes

Bremen Community High School District 228 is the largest district in 7 ZIP Code areas, and not one of them is wholly its own for high school. Answer with its name alone and the high school answer misses 16,757 of the 50,811 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.

Bremen Community High School District 228 is the largest name in ZIP Code 60477 · Tinley Park, Illinois and still holds a minority of it: 7,414 of 16,310 homes. The other 8,896 homes are 8,891 with Consolidated High School District 230 and Rich Township High School District 227; 5 in a district too small to name here. This is the shape that makes a one-name answer worst — the name is right for fewer homes than it is wrong for.

ZIP Code 60478 · Country Club Hills, Illinois is a two-district area for high school: 3,493 of its 6,204 homes are inside Bremen Community High School District 228, and the other 2,711 homes are with Rich Township High School District 227. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

Bremen Community High School District 228 holds 3,430 of the 5,942 homes in ZIP Code 60429 · Hazel Crest, Illinois, so its name is the right high school answer for most of the area and the wrong one for the rest: 2,512 homes with Thornton Township High School District 205 and Homewood-Flossmoor Community High School District 233.

In ZIP Code 60452 · Oak Forest, Illinois the split runs 9,345 to 1,345 and the larger part is Bremen Community High School District 228's: the rest is 1,345 homes with Consolidated High School District 230.

In ZIP Code 60418 · Crestwood, Illinois this district is one name among 6. Community High School District 218 leads with the largest share and Bremen Community High School District 228 holds 1,227 of the 5,196 homes counted there; no single name describes that area at all.

Bremen Community High School District 228 is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 60426 · Harvey, Illinois — Thornton Township High School District 205 leads it — and Bremen Community High School District 228 holds 592 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

ZIP Code 60430 · Homewood, Illinois is another area where Bremen Community High School District 228 is present without being the answer: 66 of its 8,283 homes, behind Homewood-Flossmoor Community High School District 233.

The elementary districts that feed it

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.

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 11 of the 12 ZIP Code areas Bremen Community High School District 228 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.
