Prairie Valley Community School District is a K-12 school district with a district seat in Gowrie, Iowa.

The district is located in portions of Calhoun and Webster counties, as well as a small portion of Greene County. It serves Gowrie, Callender, Farnhamville, Moorland, Rinard, and Somers.[2]

History

The district formed on July 1, 1993, with the merger of the Cedar Valley Community School District and the Prairie Community School District.[3]

In August 2014, the district began a whole grade-sharing arrangement with the Southeast Webster-Grand Community School District as a way to deal with smaller enrollments and as a way to save money. The two districts together share middle and high schools.[4]

Schools

Southeast Valley High School currently is the high school for the two districts.

Prior to the grade sharing, the Prairie Valley district had two schools: The elementary served pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and is located between Farnhamville and Somers. The Prairie Valley High School served 7th grade through 12th grade and was located in Gowrie.

gollark: Also doesn't work. See screenshot.

gollark: That seems to only flip it 180 degrees. I need 90.

gollark: Anyone know how to rotate a turnout rail track?
