In 2006, parents in the southern portion of the Hubbard–Radcliffe Community School District preferred the idea of that district grade-sharing with Roland–Story instead of the Eldora–New Providence Community School District.{{cite web|author=Barton, Tom|url=https://wcfcourier.com/news/regional/grade-sharing-agreement-under-fire-leads-to-open-enrollment-issues/article_17455fb5-09be-507f-bfa4-8a2230b440ca.html|title=Grade sharing agreement under fire, leads to open-enrollment issues in Hubbard-Radcliffe |work=WCF Courier|date=2006-07-28|access-date=2019-08-02}}
During the 2022-2023 school year Roland–Story High School received criticism for its handling of a sexual assault case, an alleged hazing incident, involving two students, one of whom was a member of the wrestling team.{{cite web | url=https://storycounty.news/2022/11/two-roland-story-teens-arrested-after-alleged-hazing-incident-one-hit-with-felony-assault/) | title=DEVELOPING STORY: Roland-Story teen, two-time state champion wrestler charged with felony assault | date=7 November 2022 }} The high school received backlash for not taking swift enough action against the perpetrator by letting him continue to wrestle. However, after backlash the perpetrator was removed from extracurricular activities for the remainder of the school year. The perpetrator was originally charged as an adult but later took a plea deal which resulted in him being placed in juvenile court.(https://www.kcci.com/article/iowa-roland-story-kade-blume-will-no-longer-wrestle/42259609) During a school board meeting it was noted that the assault is an example of “toxic bullying culture” at the school “that has been going on for years”.(https://www.kcci.com/article/iowa-roland-story-parents-angry-over-assault-allegations/41960902)
