The new district, 45% of the size of Rhode Island, will span from Whittemore to Wesley and County Road A42 to County Road C20. Lu Verne is the only town outside of Algona with a school \u2014 for now.<\/p>\n Starting July 1, 2023, Algona will be Iowa’s largest single<\/em>-high-school consolidated district by area, only barely smaller than the two-high-school Western Dubuque district, and also barely smaller than MVAOCOU, the largest single-high-school but not<\/em> consolidated area<\/a>.
