In 2006, parents in the northern portion of the Hubbard-Radcliffe Community School District preferred the idea of that district grade-sharing with Iowa Falls instead of the Eldora-New Providence Community School District.[3]

From the 2014–2015 school year until the 2017–2018 school year,[4] the district had entered into a grade-sharing agreement with the Alden Community School District in which students of particular grade levels attend schools in another districts' schools. Initially it was a two-way sharing agreement, or one in that both districts sent students to each other's schools. Alden hosted the 6th grade for both districts. By 2017 there was a proposal to modify it so only Alden sends students to Iowa Falls, and not the other way around, for a period until the 2027–2028 school year. That way 6th graders at Iowa Falls and Alden would go to their respective schools.[5] All five members of the Iowa Falls CSD board approved this on May 9, 2016.[4] The Iowa Falls CSD board, in 2016, had asked Alden to merge.[6]

The school mascot is the Cadets. Their colors are black, gold, and red.
