School districts in Utah

Utah is unusual: only 14% of its populated ZIP Code areas are served by more than one school district, where the national figure is 53%. Districts here are large enough, or ZIP Code areas small enough, that the two mostly line up — Granite alone covers 141,812 homes. That makes the 40 areas that do cross a line worth naming rather than assuming. The two districts that share the most ZIP Codes here are Granite and Salt Lake City, in 4 of them. Counted by homes rather than by ZIP Code area, 26% of the state's housing sits in a ZIP Code that more than one district serves.

How many school districts are in Utah?

41: the Census boundary file draws 41 school districts in Utah that reach at least one ZIP Code area with homes, 41 unified, 0 elementary and 0 secondary. A ZIP Code here can sit in more than one of them, which is why a school district lookup by ZIP Code for Utah lists them all: find your school district by ZIP code.

ZIP Codes and district lines mostly agree here

The state sits well below the national rate of 53%. Granite alone covers 141,812 homes, and districts that size swallow whole postal areas rather than splitting them. Where a ZIP Code area here does cross a line, it is worth checking precisely because it is unusual: 40 of the 293 do.

District pages for Utah, largest first

Only 2 districts in Utah have a page here. Each is ranked by the homes inside its boundary, counted from the census blocks the Census Bureau assigns to it.

The most divided ZIP Code area in Utah

ZIP Code area 84034 holds 93 homes, and 3 districts each take a meaningful share of them for elementary grades — Tooele first at 57%, then Tintic. A lookup that names the first is describing that share of the homes and silently not the 40 homes that remain.

Grade schoolTooele School District57%53 of 93 homes

High schoolTooele School District57%53 of 93 homes

Each percentage here is a share of the 93 homes counted in ZIP Code 84034, 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 93 homes counted in ZIP Code 84034, so one cell is 3 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.

Tintic School District36 of 93 homes39%
White Pine County School District4 of 93 homes4.3%

For grade school, an answer of one district name would be wrong for 40 of the 93 here.

Where a single district name still works in Utah

Across the 293 ZIP Code areas in Utah with homes in them, an answer of one district name misses 70,806 of the 1,149,587 homes they hold. That is 6.2% of the state, and in 239 of the areas the largest district for the early grades holds every home counted: this is a state where the familiar answer is usually the right one, and the areas below are where it is not.

In ZIP Code 84404 · Plain City, Utah the largest district for grade school is Ogden, and naming it alone misses 8,517 of the 23,136 homes counted there. For grade school the rest is 8,517 homes with Weber.

In ZIP Code 84106 · Salt Lake City, Utah the largest district for grade school is Granite, and naming it alone misses 8,093 of the 16,431 homes counted there. For grade school the rest is 8,093 homes with Salt Lake City.

In ZIP Code 84401 · West Haven, Utah the largest district for grade school is Ogden, and naming it alone misses 6,800 of the 17,053 homes counted there. For grade school the rest is 6,800 homes with Weber.

Where a ZIP Code here names more than one district

Of the 293 ZIP Code areas in Utah that the federal file names a district for, 40 name more than one school district. These are the 12 with the most, starting at 3 districts in one postal area: Tooele County, Summit Park and Brighton. Each row opens the full answer for that ZIP Code, with every district named for grade school and for high school and the share of the homes each one holds.

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: 40 of the 293 ZIP Code areas in Utah 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.
