Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the beloved â??Little House on the Prairieâ?? series had a sporadic early education. Since her family were settlers, she moved around a great deal and had little formal schooling, mainly teaching herself. In 1882, Laura successfully passed the test to become a teacher so she could help out her family financially.

∙ 14y agoNo, she did not. She left school before graduating in order to marry Almanzo. Her teacher confessed that he should have graduated her a term earlier, but that he had wanted to wait and graduate the whole class together. Laura then tells her teacher that it doesn't matter, and that she is happy just to know that she could have graduated.

She had completed courses in reading, orthography (spelling), writing, arithmetic, geography, English, grammar and history, and was at the head of her class. Laura and other students of her day were required to memorize and recite poems, speeches, historical documents and more. They also had to diagram sentences and do long division in their heads.
At the School Exhibition in 1882, described at the end of Little Town on The Prairie, Laura recites nearly 300 years of American History from its earliest settlements to the end of the Mexican War, without notes! Her success prompted the local school board to offer her her first teaching job, even though she was just 15.
Although she did not actually receive a diploma, it is fair to say that Laura was a high school graduate.
Laura Ingalls Wilder did not attend college. She only completed her formal education up to eighth grade.
