Hi there, Emily Farber with Lepic-Kroeger Realtors in Iowa City, Iowa. Thanks
for joining me. Hey, do you have questions about
elementary schools and the Iowa City Community School District? Well, if you do,
stay tuned because I've got some information for you.
In this video we will specifically be looking at elementary schools on the
west side of Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty. If you're interested in
schools on the east side of Iowa City be sure to check out this video that I'll
link up above. The Iowa City Community School District is the fifth largest
school district in the state of Iowa and we're rapidly growing with over 14,000
students. We've got 18 preschool sites, 21 elementary schools, three junior highs,
three high schools, and one alternative high school. Iowa City Schools are
consistently ranked amongst some of the best in the state. We consistently have a
ACT scores above state and national averages. No matter where you live you
know you're going to get a top-notch education for your kids in Iowa City. Are
you house shopping? Well, if you are, I know the schools are a huge
consideration for a lot of folks when they're looking for a house. If you are
looking for specific elementary schools, junior highs, or high schools, send me a
note, or give me a call or a text. I'd be happy to help you. I can focus your home
search on boundary areas that you are targeting. Also if you're curious about
what addresses falls under what school boundary area be sure to check out the
link below for the school district's handy map feature. It will tell you what
school that home is districted for in the current school year and the
following school year. Keep in mind, however, that boundary lines are not set
in stone. Things do get changed around in order to help maintain equality in our schools.
Horn Elementary, located on the west side of Iowa City, had 412 students according
to 2017-18 data, making it the tenth largest elementary school in the
district, with an average class size of 20.6
Wickham Elementary had 485 students in the 17-18 school year, making it the fourth largest elementary
in the district. Average class size at Wickham was 23.1.
Coralville Central had 431 students, making it the eighth
the largest elementary school in the Iowa City Community School District, with
an average class size of 21.6.
Kirkwood Elementary had 328 students, making it the 13th largest elementary in the district. Average class
size at Kirkwood was 18.2.
Borlaug Elementary had 458 students, making Borlaug the seventh largest elementary in our
district. Its average class size was 24.1.
Weber Elementary had 469 students in the 17-18 school, year making it the
fifth largest elementary in the district. Class size at Weber averaged 23.5.
Van Allen Elementary, located on the border of north Coralville and North
Liberty, had 506 students in the 2017-18 school year,
making it the third largest elementary school in the district, with an average
class size of 24.1.

school in the district. Average class size at Garner was 22.4.
Penn Elementary, also located in North Liberty, had 638 students in the
17-18 school, year making Penn the second largest elementary school in the
district. Average class size at Penn was 24.5. So, as you can see,
the three largest elementary schools in the Iowa City Community School District
are all located in North Liberty. As a result, Iowa City's newest elementary
school, still under construction and slated to open for the fall of 2019, is
Grant Elementary. Grant is expected to house between 600 and 633 students.
Hills Elementary is located in a small community. Hills, Iowa, which is about 10
miles south of Iowa City. Hills had 203 students, making it the smallest school
in the district. The average class size at Hills in the 17-18 school year was
15.6 students at Hills. Students at Hills move on to Northwest Junior High and West High
School, which is why I included it with elementary schools located on the west
side of Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty.
