Buffalo Center–Rake–Lakota Community School District was a school district serving Buffalo Center, Lakota, and Rake, Iowa.
The relationship continued with the single successor district, Thompson, and Titonka, with the agreement to last for three years.
Instead the Buffalo Center–Rake–Lakota and Thompson districts continued grade-sharing for the 1995–96 school year.
In November 1995 the second merger referendum for Buffalo Center–Rake–Lakota and Thompson occurred;[2] this one succeeded.
On July 1, 1996, it finally merged with Thompson, to become the North Iowa Community School District.
