ZIP Code 37138 · Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee is a two-district area: 6,530 of its 10,331 homes are inside Metropolitan Nashville Public, and the other 3,801 homes are with Wilson County School District. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

In ZIP Code 37080 · Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee the split runs 1,836 to 1,369 and the larger part is Metropolitan Nashville Public's: the rest is 1,363 homes with Cheatham County and 6 homes in a district too small to name here.

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 10 of the 37 ZIP Code areas Metropolitan Nashville Public 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.
