Eldora–New Providence Community School District is a rural public school district headquartered in Eldora, Iowa .[ 2] As of 2019[update] it has a grade-sharing arrangement with Hubbard–Radcliffe Community School District and operates as "South Hardin Community Schools".
It is mostly in Hardin County , with sections in Grundy and Marshall counties. The district serves Eldora, New Providence , and Owasa .[ 3]
The district formed on July 1, 1980, with the merger of the Eldora and New Providence school districts.[ 4] From 1997 to 2006 the district enrollment decreased by 125 students, or 16% of the original total.[ 5] It began a grade-sharing arrangement with Hubbard–Radcliffe in 2006,[ 6] with the former housing senior high school and the latter hosting middle school.[ 5] In 2017 there was a proposal to continue the arrangement until 2023.[ 7] This was done as other area districts had increased ties and/or consolidated altogether.[ 6]
