A Handy Guide to Elementary Schools in Iowa City

Map and contact info for public elementary schools in Iowa City

I know how tough it is to find info on schools when you're relocating, so I thought I'd break the comprehensive information around into handy little posts with more localized content. This post covers public elementary schools in Iowa City. Below is a map showing you the location of the schools. And here's a a link to a full screen version with legend.

The Iowa City School District is in the process of changing it's boundaries and you will need to call the individual schools to find out more information on how they are likely to be impacted. Last year I helped a client relocate to the area who now works for family services. I spoke to her recently and her advice would be to contact the Principal of schools you're interested in and visit with them to get a feel for the learning environment. Children respond differently in different learning environments and here in Iowa City they are very focused on your child's well being.

On a related subject. If you move and then decide you'd like your child to go to a different school, it is possible to transfer to another school. The only caveat is that the school you choose needs to be running under capacity. If it already has the maximum number of students, then it won't be possible to transfer.
