South Hamilton Community School District is a rural public school district headquartered in Jewell, Iowa.[2] It includes an elementary school and a middle/high school.
The district is mostly in Hamilton County with a section in Boone County. It serves Jewell Junction, Ellsworth, Randall, and Stanhope.[3]
History
Circa 1998, there was a bond that would allow the district to change the grade configuration; at the time it had grades 5–12 in the secondary school building, originally intended only as a senior high school, while it hoped to have only grades 7–12 there, with students until grade 5 in the elementary school.[4]
In 2006, there were parents in the Hubbard–Radcliffe Community School District who preferred to send their children to South Hamilton schools instead of the Eldora–New Providence district, which Hubbard–Radcliffe had a grade-sharing agreement with. Parents in the western portion of Hubbard–Radcliffe preferred the idea of that district grade-sharing with South Hamilton instead of Eldora–New Providence. Some parents preferring the South Hamilton district purchased a bus to transport their children there. Tom Barton of the WCF Courier wrote that "many" Hubbard–Radcliffe parents chose South Hamilton schools.[5]
