The areas it leads without holding most of the homes

Mission Consolidated Independent 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 26,085 of the 46,059 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.

Mission Consolidated Independent is the largest name in ZIP Code 78572 · Mission, Texas and still holds a minority of it: 12,354 of 33,231 homes. The other 20,877 homes are 20,777 with La Joya Independent and Sharyland Independent; 100 in a district too small to name here. This is the shape that makes a one-name answer worst — the name is right for fewer homes than it is wrong for.

Mission Consolidated Independent holds 7,620 of the 12,828 homes in ZIP Code 78573 · Alton, Texas, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 5,149 homes with Sharyland Independent and La Joya Independent; 59 homes in a district too small to name here.

Mission Consolidated Independent reaches into ZIP Code 78574 · La Homa, Texas with 3,791 of its 18,034 homes; 3 districts there hold a real share of it, and La Joya Independent leads them. The familiar answer for that area is one of the others, and it is wrong for those 3,791 homes.

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 3 of the 4 ZIP Code areas Mission Consolidated Independent 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.
