Kirkland Elementary School District #23 is a school district based in Kirkland, Arizona, [2] consisting of a single K-8 school.

The district includes Wilhoit census-designated place, [3] as well as the unincorporated areas of Kirkland, Wagoner and Walnut Grove. [4]

The school was established circa 1909. As of 2019 the school district has little of a taxation base, so much of the taxes comes from residents. The residents lacked the tax money to rebuild the school, though the current building had modern technology. [5]

As of 1976 the Prescott Unified School District takes secondary students from the district, as it is required to under law. [6] The Prescott district operates Prescott High School.

Until its 2021 disestablishment, Walnut Grove Elementary School District, which did not operate any schools at the end of its life, sent students seeking traditional schooling to Kirkland Elementary. [7] The Kirkland district absorbed the parts of the Walnut Grove district to the north. [8]

Wagoner is a ghost town situated in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States. It has an estimated elevation of 3,383 feet (1,031 m) above sea level. The town was founded on mining in the early 1800s, but declined by the early 1900s. It once boasted a two-story hotel, a dance hall, a barn, and a general store with a handpump gasoline dispenser. It was a popular spot to take sick children during the summer, to escape the heat of nearby Phoenix. This practice stopped once the railroad was built to nearby Prescott, which was cooler. In 1890, the town narrowly avoided the Walnut Grove dam collapse, but the workers who died in its collapse are buried in the town cemetery. Its hotel burned down in 1942, and the dance hall followed suit in 1948. What remained of the town was bulldozed in 1997. The only visible remaining structures are various graves, and the gas tank of the general store. It was named after Ed Wagoner, who founded the town. The post office was established in 1893.
