South Carolina · runs pre-K through grade 12

NCES ID 4502760 · lex3.org · (803) 532-4423

There is no ZIP Code area where Lexington School District 3 is the only school district serving the homes. It holds a real share in 5 of them and shares every one, with 4 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

By homes covered Lexington School District 3 sits in the bottom quarter of the 72 districts in South Carolina, and that is the interesting part: a small district still shows up in 6 ZIP Code areas, because a ZIP Code area does not shrink to fit.

The ZIP Code areas it reaches

Every one of the 5 areas where it holds a real share it shares with somebody. Its largest foothold is 29006 at 64% of the homes; the thinnest is 29036, where it holds no homes at all.

The areas it leads without holding most of the homes

Lexington School District 3 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 5,780 of the 12,104 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.

Lexington School District 3 is the largest name in ZIP Code 29070 · Fairview Crossroads, South Carolina and still holds a minority of it: 3,495 of 7,692 homes. The other 4,197 homes are with Lexington School District 1 and Saluda County. This is the shape that makes a one-name answer worst — the name is right for fewer homes than it is wrong for.

Lexington School District 3 holds 2,829 of the 4,412 homes in ZIP Code 29006 · Batesburg-Leesville, South Carolina, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 1,583 homes with Aiken County and Saluda County.

Lexington School District 3 is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 29054 · Gilbert, South Carolina — Lexington School District 1 leads it — and Lexington School District 3 holds 73 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

ZIP Code 29105 · Monetta, South Carolina is another area where Lexington School District 3 is present without being the answer: 47 of its 624 homes, behind Aiken County.

Who takes the other homes in its ZIP Codes

They are neighbors on the same postal ground, not the next stop for its own students.

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 Lexington School District 3 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.
