Five Town Community School District

It never has a ZIP Code to itself

8,376 homes hold 14,297 residents, about 1.7 people each. Where households are small, a district's share of the homes overstates its share of the children, and this page counts homes.

What one name misses, and what changes later

Five Town Community is the largest district in 4 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the high school answer misses 1,185 of the 8,887 homes those areas hold — though in 2 of them it holds every home there is for high school. The count is homes, not addresses, and it is the number no lookup prints.

Five Town Community holds 1,506 of the 2,689 homes in ZIP Code 04849 · Lincolnville, Maine, and 1,183 of the homes counted there have no high school district named for them in the federal file at all. A lookup that answers with one name misses 1,183 of them, and it also misses the arrangement: the only high school district the file names here is Five Town Community.

Five Town Community holds 3,335 of the 3,337 homes in ZIP Code 04843 · Camden, Maine, so its name is the right high school answer for most of the area and the wrong one for the rest: 2 homes in districts too small to name here.

Five Town Community holds all 892 homes counted for high school in ZIP Code 04847 · Hope, Maine, and no other high school district holds a share worth naming. For grade school the same homes are named for Hope (892 homes), so a single name answers only one of the two questions there.

ZIP Code 04856 · Rockport, Maine is another area where Five Town Community holds every home counted for high school — 1,969 homes — and for grade school the same homes are named for School Administrative District 28 (1,969 homes).

Five Town Community reaches into ZIP Code 04862 · Appleton, Maine with 674 of its 1,924 homes; 3 districts there hold a real share of it, and School Administrative District 40 leads them. The familiar answer for that area is one of the others, and it is wrong for those 674 homes.

The elementary districts that feed it

Students arrive at Five Town Community from 5 districts that run the lower grades in the same ZIP Code areas — School Administrative District 28, which sends 63%, Hope, which sends 11% and Lincolnville, which sends 10%. 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.

• School Administrative District 2863% of Five Town Community's homes come from here
• Hope11% of Five Town Community's homes come from here
• Lincolnville10% of Five Town Community's homes come from here
• Appleton8.0% of Five Town Community's homes come from here
• Northport Public Schools7.9% of Five Town Community's homes come from here

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 5 of the 5 ZIP Code areas Five Town Community 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.
