The areas it leads without holding most of the homes

Meridian Public is the largest district in 3 ZIP Code areas, and not one of them is wholly its own. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 10,411 of the 27,539 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.

Meridian Public is the largest name in ZIP Code 39301 · Meridian, Mississippi and still holds a minority of it: 5,535 of 11,303 homes. The other 5,768 homes are with Lauderdale County and Enterprise.

ZIP Code 39305 · Meridian, Mississippi is a two-district area: 5,277 of its 9,198 homes are inside Meridian Public, and the other 3,921 homes are with Lauderdale County. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

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 4 of the 4 ZIP Code areas Meridian Public 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.
