Pennsylvania · runs pre-K through grade 12

NCES ID 4219170 · pghschools.org · (412) 529-3500

Pittsburgh is the only school district serving 17 of the 32 ZIP Code areas it touches, shares 13 more with neighbors, and holds under half a percent of the homes in the remaining 2. It covers 159,484 homes and 306,384 residents. By homes covered it ranks 2nd of the 500 districts in Pennsylvania.

Where this district is the answer, and where it is not

At 2,919 homes to the square mile this is city territory, and district lines in a city follow streets. Pittsburgh covers 55 square miles in all — small enough that a single ZIP Code area can hold most of it, and several ZIP Codes can cut across it.

The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 15217 this district holds 100% of the homes; in 15290 it holds no homes at all. Same district, opposite answers, and a lookup that names it without the share tells the second household the same thing as the first.

The areas it leads without holding most of the homes

Pittsburgh is the largest district in 22 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 15,785 of the 165,262 homes those areas hold — though in 12 of them it holds every home there is. The count is homes, not addresses, and it is the number no lookup prints.

Pittsburgh is the largest name in ZIP Code 15216 · Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and still holds a minority of it: 4,315 of 11,568 homes. The other 7,253 homes are with Keystone Oaks, Mount Lebanon and Chartiers Valley. This is the shape that makes a one-name answer worst — the name is right for fewer homes than it is wrong for.

ZIP Code 15220 · Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania repeats the pattern with 3 names holding a real share: 3,831 of its 8,960 homes are Pittsburgh's, and the other 5,129 are not.

Pittsburgh holds 5,233 of the 6,802 homes in ZIP Code 15214 · Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 1,569 homes with North Hills and Shaler Area.

In ZIP Code 15212 · Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania the split runs 14,360 to 1,083 and the larger part is Pittsburgh's: the rest is 1,083 homes with Shaler Area and North Hills.

ZIP Code 15210 · Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is a two-district area: 12,501 of its 12,558 homes are inside Pittsburgh, and the other 57 homes are in a district too small to name here. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

In ZIP Code 15205 · Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this district is one name among 4. Montour leads with the largest share and Pittsburgh holds 3,437 of the 12,239 homes counted there; no single name describes that area at all.

Pittsburgh reaches into ZIP Code 15221 · Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania with 2,472 of its 16,979 homes; 3 districts there hold a real share of it, and Wilkinsburg Borough leads them. The familiar answer for that area is one of the others, and it is wrong for those 2,472 homes.

ZIP Code 15227 · Baldwin, Pennsylvania is another area where Pittsburgh is present without being the answer: 1,505 of its 13,646 homes, behind Baldwin-Whitehall.

Who takes the other homes in its ZIP Codes

Pittsburgh 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 — Woodland Hills, Penn Hills and Keystone Oaks. They are neighbors on the same postal ground, not the next stop for its own students.

  • Woodland Hills School District14,657 homes in 3 shared ZIP Code areas
  • Penn Hills School District13,752 homes in 1 shared ZIP Code area
  • Keystone Oaks School District10,755 homes in 5 shared ZIP Code areas

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 13 of the 32 ZIP Code areas Pittsburgh 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.
