West Hancock Community School District

West Hancock Community School District is a rural public school district headquartered in West Hancock Elementary School in Britt, Iowa. Mostly in Hancock County with a section in Wright County, it serves the communities of Britt and Kanawha.

The elementary school and the high school are in Britt while the middle school is in Kanawha.

History
The district formed on July 1, 1994, with the merger of the Britt and Kanawha districts.

On July 1, 2015, the Corwith–Wesley Community School District dissolved, with a portion of the district being taken by West Hancock CSD.

In 2019, the district was making plans to renovate some buildings. It initially hired the Des Moines company Samuels Group as a contractor as the company had the lowest bid on a $100,000 plus margin, but the company terminated its involvement, forcing the district to find a new contractor.
