What Iowa’s list covers

Every accredited nonpublic school building in the Iowa Department of Education’s directory for the school year, whether state, independently or specially accredited. Non-accredited nonpublic schools aren’t in it, and Iowa counts buildings where NCES counts schools. NCES’s survey counted 225 private schools in Iowa in 2021-22.
