The Louisa–Muscatine Community School District is rural public school district consisting of an elementary school and a high school located in a single complex along U.S. Highway 61 in unincorporated Louisa County, Iowa, with a Letts postal address.[2]
The district is named Louisa–Muscatine because it is on the border of Louisa and Muscatine counties.[citation needed]
The district, occupying sections of both counties, includes the cities of Letts, Grandview, and Fruitland as well as a portion of the city limits of Muscatine.[3] It also includes Cranston, an unincorporated area,[2] as well as students from various other local communities.[4]

The district was formed in 1959 as the consolidation of Letts and Grandview schools.
In 2014, Ky Cochran of the Muscatine Journal wrote that the district "continues to face financial difficulties", and that the superintendent asked the board to not increase his own salary while the board was to increase the salaries of other staff.[5]
The campus consists of a preschool through 6th grade elementary building and a 7th through 12th grade secondary building.[2] It is located south of Muscatine, Iowa and is three miles away from Letts.
The athletic facilities at the campus include a baseball and softball complex and an American football and track center.[2]
Jr./Sr. High School

Louisa–Muscatine is involved in the School-to-Work (STW) initiative with Muscatine Community Schools and the Muscatine area business and industry.
