District

Spanning 256 square miles, Union Community School District serves the communities of La Porte City and Dysart. Located just south of the Cedar Valley (Waterloo and Cedar Falls), allows for a small school atmosphere with multiple opportunities for students, but has access to the amenities of a larger urban area.

The Union Community School District has four attendance centers.

• Dysart-Geneseo (DG) and La Porte City (LPC) each have a PS-5 elementary building. Class sizes in the elementary range from 15-22 students.
• Union Middle School is located in Dysart and serves grades 6-8. Academic class sizes are similar to the high school, ranging from 16-20 students.
• Union High School is a 9-12 grade building located in La Porte City with an academic class size average of 18-22 depending on the course.

The Union Community School District is proud to offer safe, positive, and caring environments, in all our buildings, where every student is valued and supported. We prioritize strong relationships among students, staff, families, and the community, believing that these connections are essential to student success. Our supportive and knowledgeable staff not not only teach with passion but also care deeply about the well-being of each student. Through collaboration and ongoing professional development, our educators continuously grow in their craft to better serve our learners. Their commitment helps foster a culture where students feel secure, challenged, and inspired to learn. In essence, Whether it’s in the classroom, on the field, or in the community, we are focused on preparing our students with the skills, knowledge, and character they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.All of these facts help us meet our vision of providing, “Education to Meet Tomorrow’s Challenges”.
