Fort Madison Community School District is a rural public school district headquartered in Fort Madison, Iowa.[2] Mostly in Lee County, with a small portion in Henry County, it serves Fort Madison, Houghton, St. Paul, and West Point.[3] It also serves the unincorporated area of Denmark.[4]

In 2007 the district had a $16 million bond proposal for building a new K-8 campus that would replace Fort Madison Middle School and Denmark Elementary School, but voters rejected it; KHQA stated they did so "overwhelmingly".[5]

There was a bond proposal $30 million that had been rejected three times,[when?] with the third having 59.9% voting in favor when 60% was required for a pass.[6]
