Our Location
Keota Community Schools are located in the southeast of Iowa in Keokuk County. The district is approximately 40 miles southwest of Iowa City, between Sigourney and Washington. Keota Community Schools are part of Great Prairie AEA with centers in Ottumwa and Burlington.
Our Facilities
The present campus was started in 1960 with the construction of the elementary building, cafeteria, and gymnasium. In 1972, the high school building was added to the north. The two buildings were connected and enhanced in 2000 with the construction of an ICN room, second gym, elementary media center, and classrooms.
The Keota District is proud that we have a vision to provide a personalized education for all students, doing whatever it takes to meet their learning needs because no one student is exactly the same.
