Prairie Valley Community School District is a rural public 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[]

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.
