UNITED SOUTH

United South is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the United Comm School District school district, located in Boone, IA with about 166 students offering grade levels from 2nd Grade to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 15 teachers, United South has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

United Community School (often referred to as United South) is a rural PK-8 school district located in Boone, Iowa. Situated in a small, close-knit community setting, the school focuses on providing individualized attention and a supportive learning environment for its student body. Because of its smaller size, the district emphasizes strong relationships between students, staff, and families, aiming to foster a personalized educational experience that prepares students for their eventual transition to local high schools.

The district places a high value on academic foundation and community engagement. By maintaining a smaller student-to-teacher ratio, United Community School is able to offer a curriculum tailored to meeting the specific needs of its learners while encouraging participation in extracurricular activities. Through its official website, the school keeps the community updated on district policies, academic calendars, and school-board activities, remaining a central pillar for families residing in the Boone area.
