ZIP Code 60016 · Des Plaines, Illinois
Cook County · 26,365 counted · 6 districts
Each percentage here is a share of the 26,365 homes counted in ZIP Code 60016, 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.
The districts named for the early grades in ZIP Code 60016, Des Plaines, Illinois are not the districts named for high school, and the set changes in both directions: 2 districts arrive for high school that no elementary answer names, and 4 run the early grades and stop. 6 districts hold the 26,365 homes counted here between them, and Maine Township High School District 207 is the largest by homes. The largest share leaves 3,369 homes elsewhere: 3,369 homes with Township High School District 214. Districts holding under half a percent of the homes named at their own level are listed separately below and are not counted in that number.
The early grades are divided four ways
4 districts hold a measurable share of ZIP Code 60016 at this level. Des Plaines Community Consolidated School District 62 is the largest with 15,374 homes; the smallest of them holds 400 homes. Des Plaines Community Consolidated School District 62, East Maine School District 63, Community Consolidated School District 59 and one more district are named here for grade school and not for high school.
Every track below is 35 cells long and stands for all 26,365 homes counted in ZIP Code 60016, so one cell is 753 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.

Below half a percent at the grade school level: Mount Prospect School District 57 holds 87 homes, which is why it is counted under the list rather than inside it. A lookup that named it alongside the districts above would be listing a boundary crossing rather than an answer.
Glenview Community Consolidated School District 34 and Park Ridge Consolidated Community School District 64 reach into ZIP Code 60016 at the grade school level as well and hold no home counted in it: the boundary crosses the postal area without picking up a single one.
High school is split between two districts
2 districts hold a measurable share of ZIP Code 60016 at this level. Maine Township High School District 207 is the largest with 22,996 homes; the smallest of them holds 3,369 homes. Maine Township High School District 207 and Township High School District 214 are named here for high school and not for the early grades.

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.

- River Trails School District 26 NCES ID 1733870 (847) 297-4120
The set of names changes in both directions
Maine Township High School District 207 and Township High School District 214 are named for high school here and for no elementary grades, and Des Plaines Community Consolidated School District 62, East Maine School District 63, Community Consolidated School District 59 and one more district run the early grades and no more. An address on the wrong street can therefore change district at the change of grade and land in a district that was never part of its elementary answer, while a neighbor two blocks away keeps one name the whole way through.
What one district name costs in 60016
A lookup that answers ZIP Code 60016 with one district name has to pick one of the names below and drop the rest.

That is the whole difference between this page and a one-line answer: the same federal file, read to the end instead of to the first row.

Look up 60016 again, or look up another ZIP Code
The lookup holds every ZIP Code area in the country with homes in it, including the ones with no page of their own. Opening it at 60016 recomputes the same 26,365 homes from the same snapshot, and typing five other digits answers for somewhere else. No server is asked for the answer: the whole index travels with the lookup page itself.
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: 3,369 of the 26,365 homes counted in 60016 sit outside the district holding the most of them, and the line between the two runs along streets rather than around the postal area.
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.
What this site can hand you instead:
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.
