The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 20774 this district holds 100% of the homes; in 20601 it holds 1.4% of the homes. Same district, opposite answers, and a lookup that names it without the share tells the second household the same thing as the first.

What an answer of one district name misses here

Prince George's County is the largest district in 36 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 737 of the 356,505 homes those areas hold — though in 32 of them it holds every home there is. The count is homes, not addresses, and it is the number no lookup prints.

ZIP Code 20613 · Baden, Maryland is a two-district area: 5,177 of its 5,717 homes are inside Prince George's County, and the other 540 homes are with Charles County. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

In ZIP Code 20705 · Beltsville, Maryland the split runs 9,768 to 87 and the larger part is Prince George's County's: the rest is 87 homes with Montgomery County.

In ZIP Code 20608 · Aquasco, Maryland the single-name answer is the true one: Prince George's County holds all 391 homes counted there, and no other district holds a share worth naming.

ZIP Code 20623 · Rosaryville, Maryland is another area where one name covers everything — 960 homes, all of them inside Prince George's County.

Prince George's County is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 20904 · Colesville, Maryland — Montgomery County leads it — and Prince George's County holds 1,452 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

Prince George's County reaches into ZIP Code 20903 · Hillandale, Maryland with 1,324 of its 7,168 homes, behind Montgomery County. The familiar answer for that area is the other name, and it is wrong for those 1,324 homes.

ZIP Code 20601 · Waldorf, Maryland is another area where Prince George's County is present without being the answer: 142 of its 10,261 homes, behind Charles County.

Who takes the other homes in its ZIP Codes

Prince George's 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 — Montgomery County and Charles 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 Prince George's County in the same ZIP Code areas: Montgomery County and Charles 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 8 of the 40 ZIP Code areas Prince George's 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.
