What Iowa’s list coversAccredited nonpublic schools

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.

    Side by side

    The same published facts for each, in the same order, in their sources’ words.

    Every line is a fact its source published, in that source’s own words. On a line whose figures can be ordered, the one that leads is marked; that is not a rating, and no line is weighed against another. “Not published” means that state’s file has no such field, which is not the same as a zero.
