Mission Statement

The mission of the North Cedar Community School District, in partnership with its community, is to ensure a safe and caring environment for each student, providing the essential knowledge, values, skills and attitudes to create lifelong learners who are responsible, contributing and productive citizens in a changing and increasingly diverse world.

About

The North Cedar Community School District serves about 800 students in the rural communities of Clarence, Lowden, Mechanicsville, and Stanwood in east-central Iowa.  The students in our four schools enjoy hands-on, student-centered learning that prepares them for post-secondary education and careers.  Our students consistently score at or above state averages on math and reading assessments, and more than 80 percent of our students achieve test score results that are “proficient” or “above.”
