West Lyon Community School District is a rural public school district headquartered in Inwood, Iowa. The district is mostly within Lyon County, with a small area in Sioux County, and serves the towns of Inwood, Alvord, Larchwood, and Lester, and the surrounding rural areas.[2]
The district was formed in 1960, and for a few years, the district operated two separate schools: West Lyon North, serving Larchwood and Lester, and West Lyon South, serving Inwood and Alvord. Eventually, this was reduced to just a single school, serving the four towns of Alvord, Inwood, Larchwood, and Lester.
Shawn Kreman has served as superintendent since 2018, after serving as principal at Iowa Valley.[3]
The district operates three schools in a single building at 1787 182nd Street, Inwood:[1]
The Wildcats are members of the Siouxland Conference, and participate in the following sports:[4]
