The United Community School District is a public school district headquartered in a rural area outside of Boone, Iowa. The district, which has 133 square miles (340 km2) of area,[2] is mainly in Boone County, with a smaller area in Story County,[3] and serves the town of Luther and the surrounding rural areas between Boone and Ames, including Jordan and Napier.[2] A small piece of the municipality of Boone is in the United CSD limits.[3]
Dr. Pam Dodge, superintendent of Ogden Community School District, became superintendent through a shared agreement in 2020.[4] The previous superintendent, John Chalstrom, was placed on administrative leave in January 2020, after being arrested for drunken driving.[5]
Schools
[edit]The district operates one PK-6 school, United Community School.[6] It has a "Boone, Iowa" post office address,[2] but is not in the Boone city limits.[7]
As of 1998[update] there was a building dedicated to 6th grade classes while other grades were in another building.[8] As of 2020[update] the school was divided between two buildings, United North and United South. Grades 2-6 were in the southern building while the northern building had younger students.[9]
Since 2009, students from United can attend secondary school in Ames or Boone.[10]
Student body
[edit]As of 2025[update], more than half of the students live in other school districts and go to United CSD through a program which allows them to attend school in another school district.[11]
