Greene County Community School District

Greene County Community School District (GCCSD) is a school district headquartered in Jefferson, Iowa.

The district is almost entirely in Greene County while small portions are in Boone County. Communities served are Jefferson, Dana, Grand Junction, Rippey, and Scranton.[1]

It formed on July 1, 2014 as the consolidation of the East Greene and Jefferson-Scranton school districts. They began "grade sharing" (in which students from one district attended school in another district for certain grade levels) the previous school year.[2]

As of 2018 it has about 1,100 students and 200 employees.[3]

Schools

All schools are in Jefferson.

The Greene County district continued operating the Grand Junction school until 2017. In 2017 the Grand Junction city government decided to demolish the former Grand Junction school.[4]

The district acquired the Rippey School, which was already closed.[5] The Rippey School was demolished in 2014.[6]
