ZIP Code 61265 · Moline, Illinois
Rock Island County · 20,991 counted · 3 districts
Each percentage here is a share of the 20,991 homes counted in ZIP Code 61265, 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 61265, Moline, Illinois are not the districts named for high school, and the set changes in both directions: 1 district arrives for high school only, 1 runs the early grades and stops, and 1 serves both bands. 3 districts hold the 20,991 homes counted here between them, and Moline-Coal Valley School District 40 is the largest by homes. The largest share is high enough that one name is right for most of the homes counted and wrong for the other 407: 391 homes with East Moline School District 37 and 16 homes in a district too small to name here.
The early grades are split between two districts
2 districts hold a measurable share of ZIP Code 61265 at this level. Moline-Coal Valley School District 40 is the largest with 20,584 homes; the smallest of them holds 391 homes. East Moline School District 37 is named here for grade school and not for high school.
Every track below is 35 cells long and stands for all 20,991 homes counted in ZIP Code 61265, so one cell is 600 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.
- Moline-Coal Valley School District 4020,584 of 20,991 homes98%
- East Moline School District 37391 of 20,991 homes1.9%
Below half a percent at the grade school level: Rock Island-Milan School District 41 holds 16 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.
High school is split between two districts
2 districts hold a measurable share of ZIP Code 61265 at this level. Moline-Coal Valley School District 40 is the largest with 20,584 homes; the smallest of them holds 391 homes. United Township High School District 30 is 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.

Then confirm it with the district office. Each district named here, with its NCES district ID, website and phone:
- Moline-Coal Valley School District 40 NCES ID 1726400 molineschools.org (309) 743-1600
- East Moline School District 37 NCES ID 1713170 emsd37.org (309) 792-2887
- United Township High School District 30 NCES ID 1739870 uths.net (309) 752-1611
The set of names changes in both directions
United Township High School District 30 is named for high school here and for no elementary grades, and East Moline School District 37 runs 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 61265
A lookup that answers ZIP Code 61265 with one district name has to pick one of the names below and drop the rest. Measured against the 20,991 homes counted here, for the early grades it is wrong for 407 homes and for high school it is wrong for 407 homes. 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.

The lookup holds every ZIP Code area in the country with homes in it, including the ones with no page of their own.

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: 407 of the 20,991 homes counted in 61265 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.
