ZIP Code 92115 · San Diego, California
San Diego County · 22,976 counted · 3 districts
Each percentage here is a share of the 22,976 homes counted in ZIP Code 92115, 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 92115, San Diego, California 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 22,976 homes counted here between them, and San Diego City Unified 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 860: 814 homes with Lemon Grove Elementary and 46 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 92115 at this level. San Diego City Unified is the largest with 22,116 homes; the smallest of them holds 814 homes. Lemon Grove Elementary is named here for grade school and not for high school.

Below half a percent at the grade school level: La Mesa-Spring Valley School District holds 46 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.

Then confirm it with the district office. Each district named here, with its NCES district ID, website and phone:
- San Diego City Unified School District NCES ID 0634320 sandiegounified.org (619) 725-5506
- Grossmont Union High School District NCES ID 0616230 guhsd.net (619) 644-8000
- Lemon Grove Elementary School District NCES ID 0621330 lemongrovesd.net (619) 825-5600
The set of names changes in both directions
Grossmont Union High is named for high school here and for no elementary grades, and Lemon Grove Elementary 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 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: 860 of the 22,976 homes counted in 92115 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.
