The Saydel Community School District is a rural public school district with its headquarters in unincorporated Polk County, Iowa.
The district, entirely in Polk County, serves portions of Des Moines and Ankeny. It also serves a portion of the Saylorville census-designated place.
Within the district are three schools: one elementary school, a middle school, and one high school. District offices are located next to Woodside Middle School.
The district was organized in 1952, under the procedure provided by Chapter 276, Code of Iowa 1950, I.C.A. It was a consolidation of all the five school districts in Saylor Civil Township, and also of Berwick Independent District and Delaware Township sub-district No. 3, both of which were in Delaware Civil Township, collectively resulting in the name “Saydel.”
In 2024, the district began implementing a four day school week.
