District 721

New Prague Area Schools, ISD 721 is a nationally recognized school district that combines the opportunities of a suburban school district with the advantages of a small town district. Our district covers New Prague, a portion of Elko New Market, Lonsdale, and parts of 10 townships in Scott, LeSueur, and Rice Counties. We are proud to serve more than 4,200 students.

We have three elementary schools (K-5), one middle school (6-8), one high school (9-12), and an alternative learning center (9-12).

Our Early Childhood Services provides learning opportunities for children (age 0-5) and families. We have a comprehensive preschool program (age 3-5) and school-age care program (grade 3-5). Our Community Education department provides programs and services for learners of all ages.
