Anaconda High School District

Montana · runs grade 9 through grade 12

There is no ZIP Code area where Anaconda High is the only school district serving the homes. It holds a real share in 3 of them and shares every one, with 7 different districts in total. A lookup that returns a single district name for any of those ZIP Codes is guessing which side of a line an address falls on.

It never has a ZIP Code to itself

5,417 homes hold 9,107 residents, about 1.7 people each. Where households are small, a district's share of the homes overstates its share of the children, and this page counts homes.

The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 59756 this district holds 22 of 22 homes; in 59701 it holds 23 homes, under half a percent. Same district, opposite answers, and a lookup that names it without the share tells the second household the same thing as the first.

What one name misses, and what changes later

Anaconda High is the largest district in 1 ZIP Code area, and not one of them is wholly its own. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 667 of the 5,951 homes those areas hold. That count is computed here from census blocks; the lookups that answer this question with a single name never print it.

Anaconda High holds 5,284 of the 5,951 homes in ZIP Code 59711 · Anaconda-Deer Lodge County, Montana, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 655 homes with Philipsburg K-12 Schools and Butte High and 12 homes in a district too small to name here.

In ZIP Code 59762 · Anaconda-Deer Lodge County, Montana this district is one name among 4. Wise River Elementary leads with the largest share and Anaconda High holds 81 of the 205 homes counted there; no single name describes that area at all.

ZIP Code 59756 · Anaconda-Deer Lodge County, Montana is close to being two districts in equal parts: Anaconda High holds 22 of its 22 homes and Anaconda Elementary leads the rest. A lookup that picks the larger name is making a coin-toss look like a fact.

The elementary districts that feed it

Students arrive at Anaconda High from 6 districts that run the lower grades on the same ground — Anaconda Elementary, which sends 87%, Philipsburg K-12 Schools, which sends 8.7% and Ramsay Elementary, which sends 2.0%. Each of those addresses therefore belongs to two districts at once, one for grade school and this one for high school, and neither name is the whole answer.

  • Anaconda Elementary School District87% of Anaconda High's homes come from here
  • Philipsburg K-12 Schools8.7% of Anaconda High's homes come from here
  • Ramsay Elementary School District2.0% of Anaconda High's homes come from here
  • Wise River Elementary School District1.5% of Anaconda High's homes come from here
  • Butte Elementary School District0.4% of Anaconda High's homes come from here
  • Deer Lodge Elementary School District0.1% of Anaconda High's homes come from here

The names in this list are exact: the federal file gives the district of each band for every census block. The percentages are not. They spread each shared ZIP Code area's homes across the other band in proportion to the share each district holds there, because the file names the two districts of a block and not how a household moves between them. Read them as the size of the crossing, not as a count of houses.

Who it shares ZIP Codes with

Anaconda High shares ZIP Code areas with 7 different districts. The most frequent are Anaconda Elementary, Beaverhead County High, Butte High and Wise River Elementary. In a neighborhood this crowded the question is not which district serves the ZIP Code but which side of which street an address is on.

Where this district sits

What to do next

Ask the district office to confirm your street address. A district settles that question on its own site: look for a school locator, a find my school tool, or an attendance zone map. Where there is none, ask the office itself.

A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not a boundary: in 3 of the 5 ZIP Code areas Anaconda High reaches, at least one other district holds a real share of the homes as well, and the line between them runs along streets. Only the district can say which side of that line an address is on.

This site links to no district website. None of the federal files it is built from publishes one, and a guessed address is worse than none. It is the district office, not a search engine, that settles an address.

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.

What this cannot tell you

The homes were counted in the 2020 Census and the district lines are the 2026 boundary file. Nothing on this page adjusts one to the other. Where houses have been built or cleared since the count, a share here describes the place as it was counted rather than as it stands today, and in the fastest-growing ZIP Code areas that gap is the largest single source of error on this site.

A share on this page is a share of the homes in the ZIP Code area, not a probability for any particular address. Enrollment is decided by street address, and a district may run magnet, charter or choice programs that ignore the boundary entirely. If a decision depends on the answer, the district office is the only authority; this page shows what the federal boundary files say and when they were published.

A district boundary is not a school attendance zone. This site never says which school an address is assigned to: no current national dataset of attendance zones exists, and the district draws them itself. Nor is anything here endorsed or certified by the Census Bureau; we use their published files, and that is the whole of the relationship.

A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not an area. What is mapped here is the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Area, the closest published approximation to it. The two are not identical, and a handful of ZIP Codes used only for post office boxes or single buildings have no tabulation area at all.

Where these numbers come from

School district boundaries come from the Census Bureau's Census Geographic Relationship File, current 2026 vintage, which assigns every census block to a unified district or to an elementary and a secondary district. Homes and residents in each block come from the 2020 Census Redistricting Data (PL 94-171), H1_001 and P1_001. The ZIP Code areas come from the same Geographic Relationship File, block to ZIP Code Tabulation Area. District names and grade ranges come from the Census Gazetteer 2025, with 2020 for districts no longer listed.

The place name printed beside a ZIP Code comes from the Census 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Area relationship files: place, county subdivision and county, taken 2026-09-06. It is a label rather than a measurement: the Census Bureau does not publish which post office a ZIP Code belongs to, so the place named is the one covering the most land inside the area, not the city the Postal Service prints on an envelope.

Everything else on this page — the shares, the counts of districts per ZIP, the comparison between the two grade bands, the rankings — is computed here from those files. The source publishes none of it. Snapshot taken 2026-09-03.
