Nashua-Plainfield Community School District (N-P) is a rural, public school district headquartered in Nashua, Iowa. The district, serving Nashua and Plainfield, occupies sections of four counties: Bremer, Butler, Chickasaw, and Floyd.[2]
It was established on July 1, 1997, by the merger of the Nashua and Plainfield school districts.[3]
Facility
[edit]It has a 26,000-square-foot (2,400 m2) athletic facility known as the Husky Wellness Center, which opened in 2013.[4]
Circa 2019, there were plans to build a playground with $25,000 raised by students. The district issued a call for volunteers to build it.[5]

There were two Hispanic students, making up .3% of the total student body. 126 students were eligible for free lunches and 90 students were eligible for reduced priced lunches, both indicators of poverty; combined these students made up 32.8% of the student body. No students were English language learners.[6] By 2002, enrollment had dropped to 600.
