West Hancock Community School District is a rural public school district headquartered in West Hancock Elementary School in Britt, Iowa.[2][3] Mostly in Hancock County with a section in Wright County, it serves the communities of Britt and Kanawha.[4]

The elementary school and the high school are in Britt while the middle school is in Kanawha.[3]

History

The district formed on July 1, 1994, with the merger of the Britt and Kanawha districts.[5]

On July 1, 2015, the Corwith–Wesley Community School District dissolved, with a portion of the district being taken by West Hancock CSD.[5]

In 2019, the district was making plans to renovate some buildings. It initially hired the Des Moines company Samuels Group as a contractor as the company had the lowest bid on a $100,000 plus margin, but the company terminated its involvement, forcing the district to find a new contractor.[6]
