Algona Community School District is a rural public school district headquartered in Algona, Iowa.

The district, mostly in Kossuth County, has small sections in Hancock and Winnebago counties. It serves Algona, Burt, Titonka, and Whittemore.[2]

History

On July 1, 2001, the Burt Community School District consolidated into the Algona district. On July 1, 2014, the Titonka Consolidated School District consolidated into the Algona district.[3] The Algona district, which took control of the Titonka school building, was scheduled to sell it to the Titonka city government on January 12, 2015.[4] On July 1, 2015, the Corwith–Wesley Community School District dissolved, with a portion of the district being reassigned to the Algona district.[3] Most of Corwith–Wesley's secondary students were scheduled to go to Algona schools.[5]

Starting in 2015, the Lu Verne Community School District began to send its secondary students to Algona schools as part of a new grade-sharing arrangement.[6]
