Estherville–Lincoln Central Community School District (ELC) is a rural public school district headquartered in Estherville, Iowa.[2]

The district covers most of central and western Emmet County, along with a small part of eastern Dickinson County. In addition to Estherville it serves the communities of Dolliver, Gruver, Wallingford, and most of Superior.[3]

It was established on July 1, 1997, by the merger of the Estherville and Lincoln Central school districts,[4] although its predecessor school districts first entered into a full grade sharing arrangement in 1993. The district serves a total population of approximately 8,800.

Schools edit

The district maintains three traditional schools, all of which are located on a single campus in Estherville:

  • Demoney Elementary School grades PK–4
  • Estherville–Lincoln Central Middle School grades 5–8

Besides the traditional schools the district runs Forest Ridge School, which is an alternative high school serving clients of a residential treatment program for troubled adolescents. It is located in Gruver at the former Lincoln Central School campus. The district also maintains the Regional Wellness Center which is located just south of the district campus.[5][6]
