Annual Condition of Education Report

The Annual Condition of Education Report is published yearly and provides a descriptive overview of the status of education in Iowa with respect to: enrollment; staff; programs; student performance; and school finance. The report provides state summary information and information by enrollment category. In addition, comparisons of current year data are made to base year levels. Where possible, comparisons are also made to the nation and to states contiguous to Iowa with respect to various factors. The current report includes a background demographics section in order to provide a demographic, social, and economic context for education in Iowa.

The focus is on the changes which have taken place over the past several years.

Copies of the Annual Condition of Education Report are distributed to school districts, area education agencies, nonpublic schools, members of the state legislature, school board members, educational organizations, and a wide array of other organizations and individuals. The distribution of reports is handled through the Bureau of Planning, Research, and Evaluation.
