Schools The River Valley Community School District operates public schools serving the community. It was established on July 1, 1996 by the merger of the Eastwood Community School District and the Willow Community School District. Quimby once had its own school district, its mascot known as "Peacocks," but financial pressure and dwindling enrollment forced the school to combine with nearby Washta school district in the early-1960s to create Willow Community School District, the mascot being the T-Birds. In the early 1990s, similar factors led to the merger of Willow and nearby Eastwood School district to form River Valley School District, with the mascot of the Wolverines. The district encompasses the towns of Quimby, Washta, Cushing, and Correctionville. Although Quimby is the second-largest, it does not house a portion of the school's classes. Quimby maintained a school building, which housed River Valley Middle School classes until the building, constructed in 1921, became too expensive to keep up to code. The building was sold to a local resident, Tim Tapper, who held the property for several years before selling it to a private developer who demolished the building. Recreation Quimby boasts a nine-hole golf course, a rarity for towns in the area of relative size. References Cities in Cherokee County, Iowa Cities in Iowa
