Waterloo Community School District (WCSD) is a public school district headquartered in Waterloo, Iowa.

It is entirely in Black Hawk County. In addition to almost all of Waterloo the municipalities of Elk Run Heights, Evansdale, Gilbertville, and Raymond are in the district limits, as well as the census-designated place of Washburn. It also covers a portion of Cedar Falls.[1] [2]

There was originally a single school district in Waterloo, but in 1866 the district split in two, with a Waterloo and an East Waterloo district, until 1942, when they merged into the Independent School District of Waterloo.[3]

History

In 2015 the district drew up plans for a school bond with a value of $47 million.[4]
