Where it is

OpenStreetMap places Hunley Park, Riverbend and Lambs next to one another west of Dorchester Road, with the Ashley River marsh on the west side. The city publishes no boundaries, so we used a circle of 0.4 mile around the three. Of the 69 points we checked, 93% were inside North Charleston’s city limits on the Census Bureau’s current boundary. Inside the city, 61% were in Census ZIP code area 29404, which also covers Joint Base Charleston, and 39% in 29418; all were in Charleston County.

Schools

We checked the 64 points inside the city against Charleston County School District’s attendance boundaries in its school lookup tool (elementary zones for 2026-27). Here the district splits the elementary grades between two schools.

Level School Share of points 2025 state rating
Elementary Hunley Park Elementary, 1000 Michigan Ave. (early childhood and grades 2-5), with Lambs Elementary, 6800 Dorchester Road (grades 1-2) 77% Average; Average

The grade splits are as the district’s map labels them. Stall’s 2025 graduation rate was 77.8%. Ratings are the overall ratings on the state’s 2025 report cards. More in our schools guide.
