The Reinland School District was first organized formally in the latter half of 1892 within Reinland in the Rural Municipality of Stanley. Classroom education for Reinland School No. 140 was lead by teachers Wilhelm Rempel (Fall 1882 - May 1884, who also taught locally in other schools since 1878) and Jacob Rempel (Spring 1885 - Fall 1888). That schoolhouse was later used as a barn. How and when the district was disbanded is not yet determined, though by the early 1900s all mention by name or district number to the original district had ceased within Department of Education records.
The Reinland School District was again organized formally in June 1925 as School District No. 2130. A school building was erected in Reinland in the Rural Municipality of Stanley. From 1939 to 1943, a former residence served as quarters for the junior grades until the districts teacherage was converted into a classroom. A new two-room school was built in 1951. The school building is no longer present at the site, and a rock cairn commemorates the pioneer families who founded Reinland in 1875.
