Each percentage here is a share of the 20,935 homes counted in ZIP Code 93308, 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 93308, Oildale, 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 5 run the early grades and stop. 6 districts hold the 20,935 homes counted here between them, and Kern 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 62: 62 homes in districts too small to name here.

The early grades are divided many ways

5 districts hold a measurable share of ZIP Code 93308 at this level. Standard Elementary is the largest with 9,524 homes; the smallest of them holds 281 homes. Standard Elementary, Beardsley Elementary, Norris Elementary and 2 more districts are named here for grade school and not for high school.

Every track below is 35 cells long and stands for all 20,935 homes counted in ZIP Code 93308, so one cell is 598 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.

  • Fruitvale Elementary School District2,070 of 20,935 homes9.9%
  • Bakersfield City School District281 of 20,935 homes1.3%

Below half a percent at the grade school level: Linns Valley-Poso Flat Union School District, McFarland Unified School District and Richland Union School District, and 2 more hold 206 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.

Panama-Buena Vista School District and Wasco Union Elementary School District reach into ZIP Code 93308 at the grade school level as well and hold no home counted in it: the boundary crosses the postal area without picking up a single one.

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

Kern High is named for high school here and for no elementary grades, and Standard Elementary, Beardsley Elementary, Norris Elementary and 2 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 one district name costs in 93308

A lookup that answers ZIP Code 93308 with one district name has to pick one of the names below and drop the rest. Measured against the 20,935 homes counted here, for the early grades it is wrong for 11,411 homes and for high school it is wrong for 62 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.

Look up 93308 again, or look up another ZIP Code

The lookup holds every ZIP Code area in the country with homes in it, including the ones with no page of their own. Opening it at 93308 recomputes the same 20,935 homes from the same snapshot, and typing five other digits answers for somewhere else. No server is asked for the answer: the whole index travels with the lookup page itself.

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: 62 of the 20,935 homes counted in 93308 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.
