Preston Community School District was a school district consisting of a school in Preston, Iowa, United States.

As of 2005-2006 the district had 335 students and 31 teachers.[1]

By 2012 there were discussions on merging with the East Central Community School District, and Robert Lagerblade, the superintendent of the Preston district, presented a report stating that there would be a better financial system.[2] Voters in both districts approved the merger, by 776–122 in the Preston district and 620–598 in the East Central district.[3] On July 1, 2013, East Central merged with the Preston district to form the Easton Valley Community School District.[4] The Easton Valley leadership was to retain the usage of both school facilities in Preston.[2]
