What one name misses where high school is arranged elsewhere

West Fargo Public School District 6 holds 1,168 of the 1,519 homes in ZIP Code 58047 · Horace, North Dakota, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 351 homes with Kindred Public School District 2 and Fargo Public School District 1.

In ZIP Code 58042 · Harwood, North Dakota the split runs 484 to 32 and the larger part is West Fargo Public School District 6's: the rest is 30 homes with Central Cass Public School District 17 and 2 homes in districts too small to name here.

ZIP Code 58104 · Fargo, North Dakota is close to being two districts in equal parts: West Fargo Public School District 6 holds 9,451 of its 21,835 homes and Fargo Public School District 1 leads the rest. A lookup that picks the larger name is making a coin-toss look like a fact.

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 9 ZIP Code areas West Fargo Public School District 6 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.
