ZIP Code 60126 · Elmhurst, Illinois
DuPage County · 18,145 counted · 6 districts
Each percentage here is a share of the 18,145 homes counted in ZIP Code 60126, 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 60126, Elmhurst, Illinois are not the districts named for high school, and the set changes in both directions: 2 districts arrive for high school only, 3 run the early grades and stop, and 1 serves both bands. 6 districts hold the 18,145 homes counted here between them, and Elmhurst School District 205 is the largest by homes. The largest share leaves 2,050 homes elsewhere: 2,050 homes with Salt Creek School District 48, SD 45 DuPage County and Hillside School District 93. 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.

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.

The set of names changes in both directions
DuPage High School District 88 and Proviso Township High School District 209 are named for high school here and for no elementary grades, and Salt Creek School District 48, SD 45 DuPage County and Hillside School District 93 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 60126

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: 2,050 of the 18,145 homes counted in 60126 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.
