Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community School District

Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community School District is a school district headquartered in Reinbeck, Iowa.[1]

The district includes sections of Black Hawk, Grundy, Marshall, and Tama counties. Communities served include Reinbeck, Gladbrook, and Lincoln.[2]

History

It was formed on July 1, 1998 as a consolidation of the Gladbrook Community School District and the Reinbeck Community School District.[3]

In 2017 there was a proposal to dissolve the Gladbrook-Reinbeck district and have five other districts assume control of portions of the district, but voters turned down the proposal by 69%.[4]

Previously the American football team had a rivalry with Grundy Center High School that began circa 1908; circa 2017 the Gladbrook-Reinbeck team was moved to an eight-man division, forcing the rivalry to end.[5]

Schools

As of 2000 Gladbrook-Reinbeck High School had about 260 students.[6]

Previously the district had two school sites, one in Reinbeck, and one in Gladbrook; the Gladbrook building had elementary and middle school grades. The Gladbrook school closed in May 2015.[4]
