Missouri Valley Middle School

Schools in the MVCSD

The Missouri Valley Elementary School, formally known as Linn School, was built in 1956 and expanded in 1998. This building houses grades prekindergarten - 5th grades.

The Missouri Valley Middle School part was constructed so that students from the high school don't intermix but some facilities are shared. The middle school now contains 240 students in grades 6-8.

Built in 1976, The Missouri Valley High School has 270 students at its 609 E. Lincoln Highway location. An Iowa Communications Network fiber optics room and 4 computer labs are housed here. The school was expanded to add the middle school section in 1998 to replace the old middle school on 8th street which was torn down. A new weight room and wrestling room were added to the front of the high school in the fall of 1999.

Other Important Buildings

The new superintendent office is now located in the old Primary Building.

Curriculum Controversy

The book, Whale Talk, used in curriculum in a high school English class was recently called into question for using racial slurs. After a review by board appointed community members, it was recommended the book stay part of the curriculum at MVHS. The school board agreed and the book remained part of curriculum at the high school.
