Wyaconda C-1 School District

Wyaconda C-1 School District ^[1] was a school district based in Wyaconda, Missouri.

It was initially a K-12 school district. It ended high school operations in 2002 and began to send high school-aged students to the Clark County R-I School District's Clark County High School and the Scotland County R-I School District high school. In May 2006 the state revoked its accreditation, stating that it habitually was not academically performing. In 2008, in the district's sole K-8 school, it had 32 students. 13 students living in the district boundaries attended other school districts. ^[2]

In April 2008 the Missouri State Board of Education voted to eliminate the school district. This was the first such time that the state board closed a school district due to low academic achievement. ^[3] The bulk of the students were to move on to the Clark County school district. ^[4]
