Cheney School District

Washington · runs pre-K through grade 12

NCES ID 5301230 · cheneysd.org · (509) 559-4501

Cheney covers 16,678 of the homes in 11 ZIP Code areas, but its smallest measured presence is a different thing entirely: in ZIP Code area 99170 it holds 4 of 502 homes, or 0.8% of them. An address in that ZIP Code is almost certainly not in this district, and a lookup that names the district without the share says the opposite. Below the half-percent line this page draws it reaches 2 further ZIP Code areas, the least of them no homes at all in 99017.

The areas it leads without holding most of the homes

Cheney is the largest district in 5 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 6,218 of the 22,473 homes those areas hold — though in 2 of them it holds every home there is. The count is homes, not addresses, and it is the number no lookup prints.

Cheney is the largest name in ZIP Code 99224 · Spokane, Washington and still holds a minority of it: 4,488 of 10,328 homes. The other 5,840 homes are 5,792 with Spokane, Liberty, Reardan-Edwall and one more district; 48 in districts 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.

Cheney holds 9,076 of the 9,381 homes in ZIP Code 99004 · Cheney, Washington, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 302 homes with Medical Lake and Liberty; 3 homes in a district too small to name here.

In ZIP Code 99001 · Airway Heights, Washington the split runs 2,631 to 73 and the larger part is Cheney's: the rest is 73 homes with Great Northern.

In ZIP Code 99014 · Four Lakes, Washington the single-name answer is the true one: Cheney holds all 38 homes counted there, and no other district holds a share worth naming.

ZIP Code 99020 · Spokane County, Washington is another area where one name covers everything — 22 homes, all of them inside Cheney.

Cheney is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 99022 · Medical Lake, Washington — Medical Lake leads it — and Cheney holds 294 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

In ZIP Code 99008 · Lincoln County, Washington this district is one name among 4. Reardan-Edwall leads with the largest share and Cheney holds 121 of the 293 homes counted there; no single name describes that area at all.

ZIP Code 99170 · Rosalia, Washington is another area where Cheney is present without being the answer: 4 of its 502 homes, behind Rosalia.

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 7 of the 11 ZIP Code areas Cheney 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.
