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.
The district formed on July 1, 1989, as a merger of the Panora-Linden and Y-J-B school districts.

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 Highway 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, serves grades 6–12.
