Notes:

  • School districts are assigned to one county for administrative purposes, even if the school district overlaps county boundaries.  County enrollment totals may not reflect the actual locations of residence and/or school attendance by students in that county.
  • Total enrollment includes pre-kindergarten through high school enrollment in public school districts for the academic years shown.
  • These enrollment totals were obtained from Iowa Department of Education Basic Educational Data Survey (BEDS) summaries.  The totals shown may differ from "certified" enrollment totals, due to differing methodologies for counting and allocating students.
