Grand Mound is a city in Clinton County, Iowa, United States.

[4] Grand Mound is part of the Central DeWitt Community School District, based in DeWitt,[5] known as the Central Clinton Community School District until July 1, 2014.

In 1995 the district closed the original building because it was deemed to be structurally unsafe and its roof was in a poor condition.

[7] Grand Mound Elementary had 38 students in the 1998–1999 school year,[9] and by 2001 the enrollment was down to 35.

Grand Mound students used the library, media and computer facilities at Welton Elementary.

[7] Circa 2001 there was a bond proposal to expand the elementary schools in DeWitt, which would have centralized services and facilities for the handicapped, and close the schools in Grand Mound and Welton.

[7] By 2002 the school closed, and was sold to God's Family Baptist Church.

[8] After the closure of Grand Mound (due to declining enrollment and concerns about the building's structural condition), students were bused to elementary schools in Welton and DeWitt; today (with Welton also closed), all elementary-aged students attend school in DeWitt.
