High schoolAlhambra Unified School District (9-12)52%8,969 of 17,412 homes

Each percentage here is a share of the 17,412 homes counted in ZIP Code 91770, 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 91770, Rosemead, California are not the districts named for high school, and the set changes in both directions: 2 districts arrive for high school only, 2 run the early grades and stop, and 1 serves both bands. 5 districts hold the 17,412 homes counted here between them, and Alhambra Unified School District (9-12) and Garvey Elementary hold the most of them, 8,969 homes each. The largest share leaves 8,443 homes elsewhere: 8,337 homes with Rosemead Elementary and Montebello Unified; 106 homes in districts too small to name here.

Three districts share the early grades

3 districts hold a measurable share of ZIP Code 91770 at this level. Garvey Elementary is the largest with 8,969 homes; the smallest of them holds 2,027 homes. Garvey Elementary and Rosemead Elementary are named here for grade school and not for high school.

Every track below is 35 cells long and stands for all 17,412 homes counted in ZIP Code 91770, so one cell is 497 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.

  • Rosemead Elementary School District6,310 of 17,412 homes36%
  • Montebello Unified School District2,027 of 17,412 homes12%

Below half a percent at the grade school level: El Monte City School District and San Gabriel Unified School District hold 106 homes between them, which is why they are counted under the list rather than inside it. A lookup that named them alongside the districts above would be listing a boundary crossing rather than an answer.

Valle Lindo Elementary School District reaches into ZIP Code 91770 at the grade school level as well and holds no home counted in it: the boundary crosses the postal area without picking up a single one.

Three districts share high school

3 districts hold a measurable share of ZIP Code 91770 at this level. Alhambra Unified School District (9-12) is the largest with 8,969 homes; the smallest of them holds 2,027 homes. Alhambra Unified School District (9-12) and El Monte Union High are named here for high school and not for the early grades.

  • Alhambra Unified School District (9-12)8,969 of 17,412 homes52%
  • El Monte Union High School District6,390 of 17,412 homes37%
  • Montebello Unified School District2,027 of 17,412 homes12%

Below half a percent at the high school level: San Gabriel Unified School District holds 26 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.

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.

Check an exact address with the Census Geocoder

Then confirm it with the district office. Each district named here, with its NCES district ID, website and phone:

  • Alhambra Unified School District (9-12) NCES ID 0606037
  • Garvey Elementary School District NCES ID 0614940 garvey.k12.ca.us (626) 307-3444
  • El Monte Union High School District NCES ID 0612120 emuhsd.org (626) 444-9005
  • Rosemead Elementary School District NCES ID 0633570 rosemead.k12.ca.us (626) 312-2900
  • Montebello Unified School District NCES ID 0625470 montebello.k12.ca.us (323) 887-7900

The set of names changes in both directions

Alhambra Unified School District (9-12) and El Monte Union High are named for high school here and for no elementary grades, and Garvey Elementary and Rosemead Elementary 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 91770

A lookup that answers ZIP Code 91770 with one district name has to pick one of the names below and drop the rest. Measured against the 17,412 homes counted here, for the early grades it is wrong for 8,443 homes and for high school it is wrong for 8,443 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: 8,443 of the 17,412 homes counted in 91770 sit outside each of the 2 districts tied for the most of them, and the line 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.
