* The rankings are in order from 1-50. Where the Index is the same for multiple schools, this is due to rounding. The Index was taken out to more decimal places in order to determine the rankings in very close ratios.

Note:
Every high school in Iowa, public and private, that is accredited by the Iowa Department of Education was invited to participate in the Index. Magnet schools were not included.
