In 1913 the original Villisca school building was built, and in 1926 it  received an addition. A new Villisca school building was to be built in 2000. After some time as superintendent of Hull Public School, Leslie Walpole assumed the same role at Villisca Community School District by 1932. On July 1, 2008, the district absorbed portions of the former New Market Community School District. By 2011 the process of establishing a grade-sharing agreement with Corning was under way. A feasibility study conducted that year by Dr. Robert Decker of the University of Northern Iowa recommended doing the grade-sharing with Corning instead of with the Stanton Community School District.
