Mount Ayr Community School District, or Mount Ayr Community Schools, is a rural public school district headquartered in Mount Ayr, Iowa. It has elementary and secondary (middle and high school) divisions.

The district is mostly in Ringgold County, while there are portions in Decatur and Taylor counties. Communities in its service area, in addition to Mount Ayr, include Beaconsfield, Benton, Ellston, Kellerton, Maloy, Redding, Tingley, and portions of Clearfield. It also includes the Delphos (formerly a municipality) and Sun Valley Lake census-designated places.

As of 2018, high school students from the Diagonal Community School District take their elective classes at Mount Ayr High School since the Diagonal district does not have the funds to operate elective classes.

The district mascot is the Raiders, and their colors are black, red and white.
