Waukee Community School District (WCSD) is a public school district headquartered in Waukee, Iowa.[2] Entirely in Dallas County, it serves Waukee and portions of Clive, Urbandale and West Des Moines.[3]
As of 2015 it is the fastest growing school district in the state.[2] The district has more than 8,000 students from preschool through twelfth grade and more than 1,200 staff members.[2] Students residing outside the district open enrollment have the option of open enrollment.[2]
The district previously had a Native American logo but discontinued use of it in 1998. It did not have a logo since then and instead used a "W". When the University of Wisconsin-Madison told the district that its logo was too similar to its own, the district modified the design of the "W". In 2016 it adopted a Spartan-style warrior as its mascot.[4]
From 2004 to 2015 enrollment increased by 470 students annually.[5] The district's eighth elementary school was to open in fall 2016, and accordingly it made a plan to modify its attendance boundaries across the board.[6]
The district established a second high school in 2021, Waukee Northwest High School.[7] A third high school will likely be added in the 2030s or 40s.[8]
