How do I find out what school district I live in?

Find out what school district you live in by visiting the National Center for Education Statistics website and completing its Search for Public School Districts, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Search by address or simply identify your city and state.

This listing allows you to refine your search by identifying the type of school district, such as regular, regional or state, number of students and number of schools, the Department of Education explains. You are able to expand your hunt by adding a zip code and asking for a listing of districts within 1 to 500 miles. The website also provides a link to search for a specific public school.
