Bondurant, Iowa Schools - Inside the Bondurant-Farrar CSD

Bondurant-Farrar runs five buildings for one town, organized largely by grade rather than by neighborhood - Morris (PK-2), Anderson (2-4), an intermediate school (5-6), the junior high (7-8), then the high school. That's a different question than “which elementary zone am I in.” Here's the full list with grade spans, from the state directory.

The Bondurant-Farrar Community School District at a Glance

Bondurant-Farrar serves about 2,800 students from five buildings, all of them in Bondurant. The structure is compact and sequential - Morris, Anderson, an intermediate school, a junior high, then the high school. That is a lot of separate buildings for a district this size; the trade-off is smaller groups moving through each stage together.

What actually decides which school you get

Less than you would expect. Bondurant-Farrar is small enough that most grades have exactly one building, so there is little to choose between - the sequence is Morris, Anderson, the intermediate school, the junior high, then the high school, and nearly every Bondurant address follows it. Confirm the grade-2 assignment with the district, since Morris and Anderson both serve that year.

Real Estate Tips for Bondurant School-Zone Buyers

  1. Confirm the grade assignment, not the zone. Morris and Anderson both serve grade 2, so ask the district which building your address uses in that year.
  2. Newer subdivisions on the south and west sides carry the premium. Be prepared to compete there.
  3. New construction runs south of Highway 65 and along the I-80 access corridor. Ask builders what is platted next - the district has added buildings to keep up.
  4. Entry-level runs about $300K-$425K. Be pre-approved; Bondurant moves quickly in that band.
