NCEdCloud LEA Code — North Carolina School District Codes Directory
What is an NCEdCloud LEA Code?
An NCEdCloud LEA code is the three-digit identifier assigned by NCDPI to each North Carolina school district. These codes appear in NCEdCloud system configurations, data files, SSO attribute mappings, and administrator references. They are used to identify which district a student or staff account belongs to and to route data correctly between NCDPI systems.
The most important thing to know is that LEA (Local Education Agency) codes are permanent district identifiers. They do not change when districts reorganize, and the same code is used across all NCDPI platforms, including NCEdCloud, Home Base, and SchoolNet.
Why LEA Codes Matter in NCEdCloud?
LEA codes are used by LEA Administrators when:
- Configuring data file integrations between the district SIS and NCEdCloud
- Setting provisioning rules scoped to the correct LEA
- Verifying SSO attribute values passed to connected applications
- Submitting support tickets to NCDPI that require district identification
- Reviewing statewide reports that sort data by LEA
For most students and teachers, the LEA code is invisible — it operates in the background. It becomes visible when an administrator is troubleshooting account data or setting up system integrations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find the official current list of NC LEA codes?
The official source is NCDPI’s website and the Home Base/NCEdCloud administrator documentation portal. LEA codes are also referenced in the NC DPI Local Education Agency Directory. Always verify with NCDPI before entering a code in a system configuration.
Can an LEA code change over time?
LEA codes assigned by NCDPI are generally stable and do not change for reorganizations. However, when new districts are created or when districts merge, new codes may be issued, or codes may be retired. NCDPI communicates these changes through official channels.
Why do some sources show different codes for the same district?
Some districts have historically appeared under multiple codes in different systems. Cabarrus County Schools is one example in this table. Always confirm the current active code with NCDPI for system integration purposes.
Do charter schools have LEA codes?
Charter schools receive PSU (Public School Unit) codes from NCDPI, which function like LEA codes for data and system purposes. These are separate from the codes assigned to traditional county or city school districts.
What is Wake County’s LEA code in NCEdCloud?
Wake County Public School System uses LEA code 920.
