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.[3]

History

It was established on July 1, 1995, by the merger of the West Bend and Mallard school districts.[4]

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.[5]

  • West Bend-Mallard High School.
  • West Bend-Mallard Middle School.
  • West Bend-Mallard Elementary.
