Carlisle Community Schools

Carlisle Community Schools, also known as the Carlisle School District, is a school district headquartered in Carlisle, Iowa, United States, in Greater Des Moines.[1] The district is located southeast of Downtown Des Moines.[2] It includes the cities of Carlisle, Avon Lake, and Hartford, and it also serves a southeastern portion of the City of Des Moines.[3] The district includes territory in Polk County and Warren County.[4][5]

History

Around 1979 enrollment in the district was increasing. That year, the Hartford Attendance Center had two fewer classrooms than needed, while the Des Moines Schools were having to close unused schools.[6]

In 2007 the district voted to suspend open enrollment partly in order to ensure that class sizes remained small.[7]

In 2008 the board of directors of the district recommended the establishment of a school foundation. The Empowering Carlisle Community Schools foundation was established.[8]

Schools

Three schools, Carlisle High School (9-12), Carlisle Middle School (6-8), and Carlisle Elementary School (PreK-3) are within the city limits. The high school, the lower elementary school, and the district headquarters are adjacent to one another. Hartford Upper Elementary School (4-5) is not within the City of Carlisle.[3] It is located in Hartford.[9]
