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.

For a small school in a rural community Iowa Valley Elementary does a good job. There are not enough creativity based extra curricular activities. The principal is fantastic. I am not happy that there was not a mask mandate at the beginning of the School year during COVID pandemic.

Iowa Valley had a great atmosphere with great people and staff. The new principal has been doing a great job of turning that place around.

When I first moved here I wasent treated very fair but over time I felt apart of the school. I think sometimes are school like to favor people but in the end I think they still care about all of there students.
