Iowa Falls Community School District is a rural public school district headquartered in Iowa Falls, Iowa. The district occupies sections of Hardin and Franklin counties.[2]

In 2006, parents in the northern portion of the Hubbard–Radcliffe Community School District preferred the idea of that district grade-sharing with Iowa Falls instead of the Eldora–New Providence Community School District.[3]

From the 2014–15 school year until the 2017–18 school year,[4] the district had entered into a grade-sharing agreement with the Alden Community School District in which students of particular grade levels attend schools in another districts' schools. Initially it was a two-way sharing agreement, or one in that both districts sent students to each other's schools. Alden hosted the 6th grade for both districts. By 2017 there was a proposal to modify it so only Alden sends students to Iowa Falls, and not the other way around, for a period until the 2027–28 school year. That way 6th-graders at Iowa Falls and Alden would go to their respective schools.[5] All five members of the Iowa Falls CSD board approved this on May 9, 2016.[4] The Iowa Falls CSD board, in 2016, had asked Alden to merge.[6]

The school mascot is the Cadets. Their colors are black, gold, and red.
