The City of Houston stated: "The U.S. Postal Service establishes ZIP codes and mailing addresses in order to maximize the efficiency of their system, not to recognize jurisdictional boundaries."
In the school's postal address, "Littleton" is indicated because its ZIP code, 80123, is primarily associated with that city. Littleton itself, seat of Arapahoe County, is mostly in a different school district, and partly in other districts, with only a small part in Jefferson County Schools (See Census maps of school districts: Arapahoe p 1 (PDF p. 2/3), Douglas with text, Jefferson p 1 (PDF p. 2/3) with text). - ^ a b c d "Search for Public Schools - CCOLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL (080480000707)".
