Newfound Area School District
New Hampshire · runs pre-K through grade 12
Newfound Area covers 5,302 of the homes in 5 ZIP Code areas, but its smallest measured presence is a different thing entirely: in ZIP Code area 03253 it holds 25 of 4,695 homes, or 0.5% of them. An address in that ZIP Code is almost certainly not in this district, and a lookup that names the district without the share says the opposite.
A few homes at the edge of someone else's ZIP Code
5,302 homes hold 8,647 residents, about 1.6 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 03256 this district holds 100% of the homes; in 03253 it holds 0.5% of the homes. 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 where high school is arranged elsewhere
Newfound Area is the largest district in 3 ZIP Code areas, and not one of them is wholly its own. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 767 of the 6,016 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.
ZIP Code 03222 · Bristol, New Hampshire is a two-district area: 3,408 of its 4,160 homes are inside Newfound Area, and the other 752 homes are with Unnamed district 3399983. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.
In ZIP Code 03230 · Danbury, New Hampshire the split runs 691 to 12 and the larger part is Newfound Area's: the rest is 12 homes with Hill.
Newfound Area is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 03243 · Hill, New Hampshire — Hill leads it — and Newfound Area holds 28 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.
ZIP Code 03253 · Meredith, New Hampshire is another area where Newfound Area is present without being the answer: 25 of its 4,695 homes, behind Inter-Lakes.
Who takes the other homes in its ZIP Codes
Newfound Area runs pre-K through grade 12 itself, so an address it holds sees no change of authority between grade school and high school. The districts listed below are the ones that take the other homes in the ZIP Code areas it shares — Inter-Lakes, Unnamed district 3399983 and Hill. They are neighbors on the same postal ground, not the next stop for its own students.
- Inter-Lakes School District4,670 homes in 1 shared ZIP Code area
- Unnamed district 3399983752 homes in 1 shared ZIP Code area
- Hill School District499 homes in 2 shared ZIP Code areas
Who it shares ZIP Codes with
Newfound Area appears alongside a mix of district kinds — Hill, Inter-Lakes and Unnamed district 3399983. Where the kinds differ, the two are not competing for the same address: one takes the lower grades and the other takes high school, and a household may be served by both.

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 4 of the 5 ZIP Code areas Newfound Area 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.
