West Bend-Mallard Community School District

West Bend-Mallard Community School District (WBM) is a school district headquartered in a single K-12 (all years) campus in West Bend, Iowa.[1]

The district is mostly in Palo Alto and Kossuth counties, with sections in Pocahontas and Humboldt counties. In addition to West Bend, it serves Mallard and Rodman.[2]

History

It was established on July 1, 1995 by the merger of the West Bend and Mallard school districts.[3]

The district initially began a grade-sharing agreement with the Gilmore City-Bradgate Community School District in which GC-B sent its high school students to WB-M. By 2012 the two districts were in talks to also have GC-B sent middle school grades 7–8 to WB-M, as GC-B only had 11 students in those grades.[4]
