Iowa City is one of
the most highly educated communities in the nation, with a dynamic
active civic and cultural life, yet below the national average
in cost of living with the price of homes approximately twenty
percent below the national average. Public elementary school students
consistently scored well above the national average on the Iowa
Tests of Basic Skills, and the high school average scores on the
ACT are traditionally in the top ten percent of all schools in
the nation. Nationally ranked Big Ten collegiate athletic programs
offer a year-round calendar of sports events. In 1999, the
Editor & Publisher Market Guide listed Iowa City at the top
of their list of best metropolitan areas to live in the United
States. Click here
