RolandâÂÂStory Community School District is a public school district headquartered in Story City, Iowa, serving that city and Roland.
The district is located in Story, Boone, Hamilton, and Hardin counties.

During the 2022-2023 school year RolandâÂÂStory High School received criticism for its handling of a sexual assault case, an alleged hazing incident, involving two students, one of whom was a member of the wrestling team. The high school received backlash for not taking swift enough action against the perpetrator by letting him continue to wrestle.
