In 1992 the high school of Riverdale School District 89 closed. The Underwood district entered into a tuition agreement with the Riverdale district 89 so some Riverdale studets could go to Underwood. By 1993 the district shared a superintendent with Riverdale 89. That year, Wade Faul filled that position.
The Underwood district absorbed sections of Riverdale School District 89, taking about 78% of the district's taxable valuation, after that district closed entirely in 1994. The Riverdale district ceased to exist on July 1, 1994. The number of seats on the board of trustees increased from five to seven.
