Nebraska · runs pre-K through grade 12

NCES ID 3170110 · (402) 289-2579

There is no ZIP Code area where Elkhorn is the only school district serving the homes. It holds a real share in 5 of them and shares every one, with 6 different districts in total. A lookup that returns a single district name for any of those ZIP Codes is guessing which side of a line an address falls on.

It never has a ZIP Code to itself

The counts below come from the census blocks assigned to Elkhorn, grouped by the ZIP Code area each block falls in. The Census Bureau publishes the blocks; the grouping is computed here, and it is the only place these particular numbers exist.

The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 68022 this district holds 97% of the homes; in 68064 it holds 8 homes, under half a percent. Same district, opposite answers, and a lookup that names it without the share tells the second household the same thing as the first.

What one name misses in the areas it leads

Elkhorn is the largest district in 2 ZIP Code areas, and not one of them is wholly its own. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 4,135 of the 19,910 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.

ZIP Code 68130 · Omaha, Nebraska is a two-district area: 4,488 of its 8,296 homes are inside Elkhorn, and the other 3,808 homes are with Millard. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

Elkhorn holds 11,287 of the 11,614 homes in ZIP Code 68022 · Omaha, Nebraska, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 315 homes with Gretna and Millard; 12 homes in districts too small to name here.

Elkhorn reaches into ZIP Code 68116 · Omaha, Nebraska with 3,030 of its 13,324 homes; 3 districts there hold a real share of it, and Omaha leads them. The familiar answer for that area is one of the others, and it is wrong for those 3,030 homes.

Elkhorn reaches into ZIP Code 68118 · Omaha, Nebraska with 1,283 of its 3,643 homes, behind Millard. The familiar answer for that area is the other name, and it is wrong for those 1,283 homes.

Elkhorn is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 68007 · Bennington, Nebraska — Bennington leads it — and Elkhorn holds 47 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

Who takes the other homes in its ZIP Codes

Elkhorn runs pre-K through grade 12 itself, so an address it holds sees no change of authority between grade school and high school.

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 6 ZIP Code areas Elkhorn 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.
