The district is in parts of Adams and Taylor counties, and serves Corning and Carbon.[2]

It operates Corning Elementary School and Southwest Valley High School in Corning. The district sends its students to Southwest Valley Middle School, operated by Villisca SD.[3] The two districts also share superintendents.

History

The district previously operated Corning High School.

On July 1, 2008, the district absorbed portions of the former New Market Community School District.[4]

By 2011, the process of establishing a grade-sharing agreement with Villisca was under way. A feasibility study conducted that year by Dr. Robert Decker of the University of Northern Iowa recommended doing the grade-sharing between Corning and Villisca.[5]
