The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 25901 this district holds 100% of the homes; in 25083 it holds 7.2% 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.

The areas it leads without holding most of the homes

Fayette County is the largest district in 41 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 1,184 of the 18,930 homes those areas hold — though in 34 of them it holds every home there is. The count is homes, not addresses, and it is the number no lookup prints.

Fayette County is the largest name in ZIP Code 25976 · Meadow Bridge, West Virginia and still holds a minority of it: 506 of 1,017 homes. The other 511 homes are with Summers County and Greenbrier County. This is the shape that makes a one-name answer worst — the name is right for fewer homes than it is wrong for.

ZIP Code 25136 · Montgomery, West Virginia is a two-district area: 483 of its 854 homes are inside Fayette County, and the other 371 homes are with Kanawha County. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

In ZIP Code 25059 · Dixie, West Virginia the split runs 108 to 92 and the larger part is Fayette County's: the rest is 92 homes with Nicholas County.

Fayette County holds 114 of the 195 homes in ZIP Code 26680 · Fayette County, West Virginia, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 81 homes with Nicholas County and Greenbrier County.

In ZIP Code 25002 · Falls View, West Virginia the single-name answer is the true one: Fayette County holds all 34 homes counted there, and no other district holds a share worth naming.

Fayette County reaches into ZIP Code 25880 · Bradley, West Virginia with 848 of its 2,560 homes, behind Raleigh County. The familiar answer for that area is the other name, and it is wrong for those 848 homes.

ZIP Code 25962 · Rainelle, West Virginia is another area where Fayette County is present without being the answer: 336 of its 1,772 homes, behind Greenbrier County.

ZIP Code 26656 · Belva, West Virginia is close to being two districts in equal parts: Fayette County holds 89 of its 209 homes and Nicholas County leads the rest. A lookup that picks the larger name is making a coin-toss look like a fact.

Who takes the other homes in its ZIP Codes

Fayette County runs pre-K through grade 12 itself, so an address it holds sees no change of authority between grade school and high school. The districts listed below are the ones that take the other homes in the ZIP Code areas it shares — Raleigh County, Greenbrier County and Kanawha County. They are neighbors on the same postal ground, not the next stop for its own students.

  • Raleigh County School District1,738 homes in 2 shared ZIP Code areas
  • Greenbrier County School District1,595 homes in 3 shared ZIP Code areas
  • Kanawha County School District583 homes in 3 shared ZIP Code areas
  • Summers County School District390 homes in 1 shared ZIP Code area
  • Nicholas County School District339 homes in 4 shared ZIP Code areas

Who it shares ZIP Codes with

These districts appear alongside Fayette County in the same ZIP Code areas: Nicholas County, Greenbrier County, Kanawha County and Raleigh County. A single-name lookup for one of those areas has to choose between them, and the choice is right for some addresses and wrong for others.

Where this district sits

What to do next

Ask the district office to confirm your street address. A district settles that question on its own site: look for a school locator, a find my school tool, or an attendance zone map. Where there is none, ask the office itself.

A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not a boundary: in 11 of the 45 ZIP Code areas Fayette County 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.

This site links to no district website. None of the federal files it is built from publishes one, and a guessed address is worse than none. It is the district office, not a search engine, that settles an address.

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.

What this cannot tell you

The homes were counted in the 2020 Census and the district lines are the 2026 boundary file. Nothing on this page adjusts one to the other. Where houses have been built or cleared since the count, a share here describes the place as it was counted rather than as it stands today, and in the fastest-growing ZIP Code areas that gap is the largest single source of error on this site.

A share on this page is a share of the homes in the ZIP Code area, not a probability for any particular address. Enrollment is decided by street address, and a district may run magnet, charter or choice programs that ignore the boundary entirely. If a decision depends on the answer, the district office is the only authority; this page shows what the federal boundary files say and when they were published.

A district boundary is not a school attendance zone. This site never says which school an address is assigned to: no current national dataset of attendance zones exists, and the district draws them itself. Nor is anything here endorsed or certified by the Census Bureau; we use their published files, and that is the whole of the relationship.

A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not an area. What is mapped here is the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Area, the closest published approximation to it. The two are not identical, and a handful of ZIP Codes used only for post office boxes or single buildings have no tabulation area at all.

Where these numbers come from

School district boundaries come from the Census Bureau's Census Geographic Relationship File, current 2026 vintage, which assigns every census block to a unified district or to an elementary and a secondary district. Homes and residents in each block come from the 2020 Census Redistricting Data (PL 94-171), H1_001 and P1_001. The ZIP Code areas come from the same Geographic Relationship File, block to ZIP Code Tabulation Area. District names and grade ranges come from the Census Gazetteer 2025, with 2020 for districts no longer listed.

The place name printed beside a ZIP Code comes from the Census 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Area relationship files: place, county subdivision and county, taken 2026-09-06. It is a label rather than a measurement: the Census Bureau does not publish which post office a ZIP Code belongs to, so the place named is the one covering the most land inside the area, not the city the Postal Service prints on an envelope.

Everything else on this page — the shares, the counts of districts per ZIP, the comparison between the two grade bands, the rankings — is computed here from those files. The source publishes none of it. Snapshot taken 2026-09-03.
