The Williamsburg Community School District is a rural public school district based in Williamsburg, Iowa, serving areas around Williamsburg, Parnell, and Conroy. The district's sports teams, known as the Raiders, compete in the WaMaC Conference. Accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the Iowa Department of Education, the district was formed on March 13, 1886.

Originally an independent school district, it built a new school in 1888 and later expanded with several buildings over the years, including a grade school with a gym in 1936. The district underwent significant reorganizations in the mid-20th century, merging with multiple townships to form its current boundaries by 1962.

The district operates Mary Welsh Elementary School (PK-6) and Williamsburg Junior-Senior High School (7-12). Notable alumni include Austin Blythe, William Shannahan, and Quentin Stanerson. The high school's sports teams have achieved multiple state championships across various sports.
