The Durant Community School District is a rural public school district in Cedar County, Iowa. Based in Durant, it spans areas of southeastern Cedar County, northeastern Muscatine County and western Scott County.
Durant consists of a high school, a junior high school and elementary school, all located in a centrally located building in Durant. The district is governed by a five-member board of directors, which meets monthly at the district's administration center in Durant. The superintendent is Duane Bennett.
The district is a participant in a whole-grade sharing agreement with the nearby Bennett Community School District.[2] Each district is responsible for its own elementary school, while Bennett sends its junior high and high school students to Durant. This agreement has been in place since the 2005-2006 school year.
The school district is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the Iowa Department of Education.
