The district previously had a grade sharing agreement with the Gilmore City–Bradgate Community School District. Under that agreement Bode was the home of Twin River Valley High School, nicknamed the 'Thunder', the High School for the Twin Rivers School District and the Gilmore City–Bradgate district. The athletic teams (football, volleyball, boys and girls basketball, wrestling, track, golf, baseball and softball) are usually in the lower classes for sports due to the school's small enrollment. TRV is currently in talks with the Humboldt or West Bend-Mallard High Schools for sharing of education and/or sports.
