Sioux Central Community School District

Sioux Central Community School District is a school district headquartered in unincorporated Buena Vista County, Iowa, south of Sioux Rapids.[1]

The district covers portions of Buena Vista and Clay counties, as well as small sections of Cherokee and O'Brien counties. It serves Sioux Rapids, Linn Grove, Peterson, Rembrandt, and Webb.[2]

It has an arrangement with the Albert City-Truesdale Community School District where that district sends its high school students to Sioux Central High School. This means Sioux Central High School is the secondary school in Iowa with the seventh-largest attendance boundary as it covers 370 square miles (960 km2) of area.[3]

History

The district was formed on July 1, 1993 by the merger of the Sioux Rapids-Rembrandt Community School District and the Sioux Valley Community School District.[4] Sioux Rapids-Rembrandt served the communities of Sioux Rapids and Rembrandt while Sioux Valley served the communities of Linn Grove and Peterson.[5]

The current school facility opened in 1995; it was a consolidation of four previous campuses.[5]

On July 1, 2010, the South Clay Community School District was dissolved, and portions went to Sioux Central.[4] That annexation of territory made the Sioux Central district the 33rd largest Iowa school district in area, with 254 square miles (660 km2) of land.[3] Webb and the areas south of Gillett Grove were reassigned to Sioux Central.[5]
