Rockwell City-Lytton Community School District

Rockwell City-Lytton Community School District was a school district headquartered in Rockwell City, Iowa.[1]

In addition to Rockwell City it served Lytton and Jolley.[2]

History

The district formed on July 1, 1993 from the merger of the Rockwell City Community School District and the Lytton Community School District.[3]

In 1998 the district had 612 students; this declined by 24% to 467 in 2011.[4]

In 2009 the Rockwell-Lytton district and the Southern Cal Community School District decided to begin sharing athletic programs in the 2010-2011 school year and begin whole grade sharing, in which districts sent students to each others' schools, in the 2012-2013 school year.[5] By 2011-2013 grades 5-12 were shared, and in 2012-2013 all grade levels became shared. On Tuesday February 5, 2013 the districts held an election on whether they would consolidate.[4] The vote to consolidate was successful, with a 253-67 count in Rockwell City-Lytton and 340-86 in Southern Calhoun; a total of 746 people voted.[6] On July 1, 2014 the two districts merged to form the South Central Calhoun Community School District.[3]

Schools

Its schools included Rockwell City-Lytton Elementary School in Rockwell City, Rockwell City-Lytton Middle School in Lytton, and Rockwell City-Lytton High School in Rockwell City.[7]

In 2009 the district closed the middle school and later sold it for $10,000 to a private individual.[8]
