South Dakota · runs pre-K through grade 12

NCES ID 4641520 · lemmon.k12.sd.us · (605) 374-3762

There is no ZIP Code area where Lemmon School District 52-4 is the only school district serving the homes. It holds a real share in 7 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

Fewer than three homes to the square mile: Lemmon School District 52-4 covers 1,636 square miles of mostly open country. A district this thin holds a small share of any ZIP Code it touches, however much ground it covers, which is exactly why share by land area would mislead here and share by homes does not.

The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 57634 this district holds 98% of the homes; in 58639 it holds 2.8% of the homes. 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

Lemmon School District 52-4 is the largest district in 4 ZIP Code areas, and not one of them is wholly its own. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 252 of the 1,413 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.

Lemmon School District 52-4 is one of 6 districts the file names for ZIP Code 57638 · Lemmon, South Dakota at that level. It holds 941 of the 1,134 homes there; the rest is 192 homes with Hettinger Public School District 13, Bison School District 52-1, Elgin-New Leipzig Public School District 49 and one more district; 1 home in a district too small to name here. One name for that area is not a simplification, it is a different answer for 193 of the homes in it.

Lemmon School District 52-4 holds 109 of the 155 homes in ZIP Code 57644 · Chance, South Dakota, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 46 homes with Bison School District 52-1.

ZIP Code 57640 · Grand River, South Dakota is a two-district area: 64 of its 76 homes are inside Lemmon School District 52-4, and the other 12 homes are with Bison School District 52-1. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

In ZIP Code 57634 · Rolling Green, South Dakota the split runs 47 to 1 and the larger part is Lemmon School District 52-4's: the rest is 1 home with McIntosh School District 15-1.

Lemmon School District 52-4 is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 58639 · Hettinger, North Dakota — Hettinger Public School District 13 leads it — and Lemmon School District 52-4 holds 30 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

ZIP Code 57649 · Prairie City, South Dakota is another area where Lemmon School District 52-4 is present without being the answer: 11 of its 132 homes, behind Bison School District 52-1.

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 7 of the 7 ZIP Code areas Lemmon School District 52-4 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.
