Each percentage here is a share of the 22,344 homes counted in ZIP Code 92646, 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 92646, Huntington Beach, California are not the districts named for high school, and the set changes in both directions: 1 district arrives for high school that no elementary answer names, and 3 run the early grades and stop. 4 districts hold the 22,344 homes counted here between them, and Huntington Beach Union High is the largest by homes. 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. The area sits in Orange County, California.

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:

  • Huntington Beach Union High School District NCES ID 0618060 hbuhsd.edu (714) 903-7000
  • Huntington Beach City Elementary School District NCES ID 0618030 hbcsd.us (714) 964-8888
  • Fountain Valley Elementary School District NCES ID 0614220 fvsd.us (714) 843-3255
  • Ocean View Elementary School District NCES ID 0628140 ovsd.org (714) 847-2551

The set of names changes in both directions

Huntington Beach Union High is named for high school here and for no elementary grades, and Huntington Beach City Elementary, Fountain Valley Elementary and Ocean View 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 92646

A lookup that answers ZIP Code 92646 with one district name has to pick one of the names below and drop the rest.

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: one district covers every home counted in 92646, and even then the street is what enrolls a child, because magnet, charter and choice programs ignore the boundary entirely.

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.
