ZIP Code 95060 · Bonny Doon, California
Santa Cruz County · 20,150 counted · 5 districts
Each percentage here is a share of the 20,150 homes counted in ZIP Code 95060, 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 95060, Bonny Doon, 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 20,150 homes counted here between them, and Santa Cruz City Elementary and Santa Cruz City High School District (6-12) hold the most of them, 17,883 homes each. The largest share leaves 2,267 homes elsewhere: 2,254 homes with Bonny Doon Union Elementary and Scotts Valley Unified; 13 homes in districts too small to name here.
Three districts share the early grades
3 districts hold a measurable share of ZIP Code 95060 at this level. Santa Cruz City Elementary is the largest with 17,883 homes; the smallest of them holds 959 homes. Santa Cruz City Elementary and Bonny Doon Union Elementary are named here for grade school and not for high school.
Every track below is 35 cells long and stands for all 20,150 homes counted in ZIP Code 95060, so one cell is 576 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.

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
Santa Cruz City High School District (6-12) and Santa Cruz City High School District are named for high school here and for no elementary grades, and Santa Cruz City Elementary and Bonny Doon Union 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 95060
A lookup that answers ZIP Code 95060 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.

Look up 95060 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 95060 recomputes the same 20,150 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: 2,267 of the 20,150 homes counted in 95060 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.
