ZIP Code 73505 · Lawton, Oklahoma
Comanche County · 22,311 counted · 3 districts
928 of the 22,311 homes here have no high school district named in the federal file.
Each percentage here is a share of the 22,311 homes counted in ZIP Code 73505, 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.
3 districts are named for the early grades in ZIP Code 73505, Lawton, Oklahoma and fewer for high school: at least one of them runs the early grades only, and the file stops naming it above them. Nothing new arrives, so nobody moves to a district that was not already here; the answer narrows instead. 22,311 homes were counted, and Lawton Public Schools holds the most of them. The largest share is high enough that one name is right for most of the homes counted and wrong for the other 2,101: 2,066 homes with Cache and Bishop Public School; 35 homes in districts too small to name here.

Cells lit solid are the homes one district holds; the hatched cells at the end of a track are homes that no district of that kind is drawn to serve at all.

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.

A district runs the early grades only
Bishop Public School runs the early grades here and is not named for high school. Nobody moves to a district that was not already in the elementary answer: the list of names gets shorter, and the homes under the district that stops are picked up by one of the others or by no secondary district at all.
What one district name costs in 73505
A lookup that answers ZIP Code 73505 with one district name has to pick one of the names below and drop the rest. Measured against the 22,311 homes counted here, for the early grades it is wrong for 2,101 homes and for high school it is wrong for 2,101 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.

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: 2,101 of the 22,311 homes counted in 73505 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.
