The most divided ZIP Code area in Oregon
ZIP Code area 97004 holds 1,695 homes, and 5 districts each take a meaningful share of them for elementary grades — Molalla River School District 35 first at 40%, then Oregon City School District 62. A lookup that names the first is describing that share of the homes and silently not the 1,011 homes that remain.
Each percentage here is a share of the 1,695 homes counted in ZIP Code 97004, not the chance that any one address is in that district. Enrollment follows the street: two houses on opposite sides of the same road can be in different districts, and only the district office can say which.
Every track below is 35 cells long and stands for all 1,695 homes counted in ZIP Code 97004, so one cell is 48 homes, rounded to the nearest whole cell. Cells lit solid are the homes one district holds, and the unlit cells are the homes held by the other districts in the same list.
- Molalla River School District 35684 of 1,695 homes40%
- Oregon City School District 62582 of 1,695 homes34%
- Colton School District 53253 of 1,695 homes15%
- Canby School District 86157 of 1,695 homes9.3%
- Estacada School District 10819 of 1,695 homes1.1%
For grade school, an answer of one district name would be wrong for 1,011 of the 1,695 here.
How much of Oregon a single district name misses
Across the 425 ZIP Code areas in Oregon with homes in them, an answer of one district name misses 163,470 of the 1,813,450 homes they hold — 9.0% of the state. In 178 of those areas the largest district for the early grades holds every home counted; in the other 247 it leaves some out. That is a different count from the 204 areas served by more than one district: it also counts districts under half a percent of the homes and homes in no district, and it does not count a high school district that differs.

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: 204 of the 425 ZIP Code areas in Oregon with a district named for them are served by more than one school district, and the line between two of 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.
