Socorro Independent School District
Texas · runs pre-K through grade 12
NCES ID 4840710 · sisd.net · (915) 937-0013
There is no ZIP Code area where Socorro Independent is the only school district serving the homes. It holds a real share in 4 of them and shares every one, with 2 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
240,380 residents live in 77,223 homes here, about 3.1 people to a home, which is a fact about the housing inside this boundary rather than about the schools. The share figures below count homes, so a district of large households carries more people than its share of the homes suggests.

What one name misses in the areas it leads
Socorro Independent 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 26,383 of the 103,604 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.
Socorro Independent holds 26,526 of the 37,845 homes in ZIP Code 79936 · El Paso, Texas, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 11,319 homes with Ysleta Independent.
In ZIP Code 79928 · Horizon City, Texas the split runs 15,290 to 8,422 and the larger part is Socorro Independent's: the rest is 8,422 homes with Clint Independent.

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.
Where this district sits
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 4 of the 6 ZIP Code areas Socorro 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.
