Weston County School District 1

Wyoming · runs kindergarten through grade 12

NCES ID 5604830 · wcsd1.org · (307) 746-4451

There is no ZIP Code area where Weston County School District 1 is the only school district serving the homes. It holds a real share in 4 of them and shares every one, with 5 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

Fewer than three homes to the square mile: Weston County School District 1 covers 1,618 square miles of mostly open country. A district this thin holds a small share of any ZIP Code it touches, however much ground it covers, which is exactly why share by land area would mislead here and share by homes does not.

The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 82723 this district holds 99% of the homes; in 82730 it holds 0.8% 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.

What one name misses in the areas it leads

Weston County School District 1 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 65 of the 2,760 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.

Weston County School District 1 is one of 6 districts the file names for ZIP Code 82701 · Newcastle, Wyoming at that level. It holds 2,551 of the 2,614 homes there; the rest is 51 homes with Niobrara County School District 1, Campbell County School District 1 and Elk Mountain School District 16-2; 12 homes in districts too small to name here. One name for that area is not a simplification, it is a different answer for 63 of the homes in it.

ZIP Code 82723 · Osage, Wyoming is a two-district area: 144 of its 146 homes are inside Weston County School District 1, and the other 2 homes are with Weston County School District 7. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

Weston County School District 1 is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 82729 · Sundance, Wyoming — Crook County School District 1 leads it — and Weston County School District 1 holds 23 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

ZIP Code 82730 · Upton, Wyoming is another area where Weston County School District 1 is present without being the answer: 6 of its 730 homes, behind Weston County School District 7.

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 4 of the 4 ZIP Code areas Weston County School District 1 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.
