Schleswig Comm School District

Located at 714 Date Street in Schleswig, Iowa, the Schleswig Community School District operates as an open, traditional public school system designed to serve its distant rural community. Overseeing two operational educational facilities, the district is structurally authorized to provide instruction spanning from prekindergarten through twelfth grade. While designated to accommodate comprehensive PK–12 offerings, the district’s active student population currently focuses on foundational learning from prekindergarten through eighth grade, cultivating a close-knit, community-centered environment tailored to early childhood and middle school growth.

For the 2024–2025 academic year, the district serves a student body of 140 children, composed of 112 White, 23 Hispanic, 3 Asian, and 2 multiracial learners. To ensure each child receives attentive guidance and comprehensive care, Schleswig Community School District employs a dedicated team of approximately 65 full-time equivalent staff members. This staffing framework features over 27 full-time equivalent teachers supported by dedicated instructional aides and nearly 30 support staff members. This substantial staffing commitment relative to student enrollment highlights the district's focus on maintaining small class sizes, individualized instruction, and robust operational support for its local families and researchers evaluating rural education models.
