Burlington Community School District (BCSD) is a public school district headquartered in Burlington, Iowa, United States. Entirely in Des Moines County, it serves Burlington and Middletown, as well as residences in the western portion of West Burlington.
History

At one time the district had 15 elementary schools and three middle schools, but the board of education decided to enact a "Newer and Fewer" school consolidation program, in which new school buildings opened with each replacing multiple older schools.
Middle schools:
- James Madison Middle School - Jane Evans, the superintendent as of 2012, stated that the lack of total air conditioning and lower ceilings made it outdated.
- Horace Mann Middle School
- Oak Street Middle School
Elementary schools:
- Central Avenue Elementary School
- Corse Elementary School
- Perkins Elementary School
- Prospect Hill Elementary School
- Salter Elementary School
