Clayton Ridge Community School District is a public school district in Clayton County, Iowa, serving Guttenberg, Garnavillo, Clayton, North Buena Vista, and Osterdock.[2] In addition, Clayton Center is zoned to Clayton Ridge schools, as well as areas around Garber.[3]

History

It was established on July 1, 2005, by the merger of the Guttenberg Community School District and the Garnavillo Community School District.[4] The merger was approved in a September 14, 2004 election, with Guttenberg district voters approving it 396–19, and Garnavillo district voters approving it 188–20.[5] The two pre-merger districts began sharing athletic teams in 2000 and whole-grade-sharing (in which students from one district attend another district's schools for a particular grade level) in 2001.[6]

Allan Nelson began serving of the superintendent of the district upon its legal creation in 2005; he was the joint superintendent of the two pre-merger districts beginning on July 1, 2002, when they were still grade-sharing. Nelson retired on June 30, 2015.[7]

Schools

Clayton Ridge Community High School (Guttenberg)

Previously elementary school grades were in Guttenberg and middle school grades were in Garnavillo,[6] but in 2016 the district began changing the configurations. Grades 4 and 8 were moved to Garnavillo and Guttenberg, respectively, that year. In 2018 the remaining middle school grades went to Guttenberg while the remaining elementary school grades went to Garnavillo.[8]

gollark: It is a very efficient game.

gollark: You can overclock them... all the way to an amazing 2GHz, which leaves it massively slower than a 10-year-old desktop.

gollark: Pis are entirely capable for things like webservers, but not compute-heavy workloads like Minecraft *somehow* is.
