GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Iowa High School is a very good school they are very interactive with the students and they are all about helping students approve academics.

Iowa high school has also gave me a lot of independence and has taught me that you have to be All-In to get what you want in life. another great element is that our counselor always makes sure we are okay emotionally which made me feel more comfortable at school everyday.
