June 19, 2015: The back of the Corwith school building.
The district dissolved at the end of last school year. Nearly all of CW’s students go to Lu Verne and grades 7-12 go to Algona.
(As I have said before, it is technically correct to say the “four-thousand-xth” district to close since 1950, but Iowa was shedding one-room schools by the hundreds each year until settling to 458 districts in 1965. To put it in a different context, Corwith-Wesley was the 122nd district to shutter in 50 years.)
