In 2011, the district and the Graettinger–Terril Community School District agreed to do athletic team sharing. In 2013, the district and Graettinger–Terril agreed to a partial-day sharing arrangement in that high school students may spend portions of their school days at each campus for certain courses. They began discussing the idea in October 2012. They had discussed the possibility of whole grade-sharing, but Ruthven-Ayrshire canceled those talks in January 2013, stating that it wanted to have its own students in its own high school.
