The Hubbard-Radcliffe Community School District in Iowa has only one middle school, South Hardin Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8.

The school serves a population with a relatively high socioeconomic need, with over 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school district's spending per student in 2018-2019 was higher than the national average at $14,746 per student, suggesting a focus on resource allocation and investment in the education system.
