Panorama Community School District is a rural public school district headquartered in Panora, Iowa. It operates an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school in Panora.[2]

The district is mostly in Guthrie County but has portions in Dallas and Greene counties. The district serves, in addition to Panora, the towns of Bagley, Jamaica, Linden, Yale, and Lake Panorama.[3]

The 197-square-mile (510 km2) district formed on July 1, 1989, as a merger of the Panora-Linden and Y-J-B school districts.[4][5]

Panorama Community School District provides co-ed classes for grades K–12. Panorama Elementary School, which is located in the northwest corner of Panora on Clay Street, serves grades K–5, and, on the westside of Panora north of Iowa 44, the Panorama Middle School/High School building, which opened its doors for school as the Panora-Linden Middle School/High School in August 1974,[6] serves grades 6–12.

Panorama's teams are known as the Panthers, and their colors are navy blue and silver. The teams compete in the West Central Activities Conference (WCAC) and are part of the Iowa High School Athletic Association and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union.[7][8]
