ZIP Code 93230 · Hanford, California
Kings County · 23,439 counted · 7 districts
Each percentage here is a share of the 23,439 homes counted in ZIP Code 93230, 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 93230, Hanford, 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 6 run the early grades and stop. 7 districts hold the 23,439 homes counted here between them, and Hanford Joint Union High 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 86: 86 homes in districts too small to name here.
The early grades are divided many ways
6 districts hold a measurable share of ZIP Code 93230 at this level. Hanford Elementary is the largest with 15,868 homes; the smallest of them holds 718 homes. Hanford Elementary, Pioneer Union Elementary, Kings River-Hardwick Union Elementary and 3 more districts are named here for grade school and not for high school.
Every track below is 35 cells long and stands for all 23,439 homes counted in ZIP Code 93230, so one cell is 670 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.

Below half a percent at the grade school level: Laton Joint Unified School District, Lemoore Union Elementary School District and Waukena Joint Union Elementary School District, and 3 more hold 86 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.

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.

The set of names changes in both directions
Hanford Joint Union High is named for high school here and for no elementary grades, and Hanford Elementary, Pioneer Union Elementary, Kings River-Hardwick Union Elementary and 3 more districts 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 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: 86 of the 23,439 homes counted in 93230 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.
