Education
As a state, Iowa is renowned for its commitment to education. And the counties comprising Western Iowa Advantage are no exception. With a graduation rate of over 96 percent and higher proficiency test results compared to the state averages, our educators, parents and students work together to make education a priority. Small class sizes, opportunities for advanced studies, partnerships with businesses and strong extra-curricular programs provide the advantages students need to prepare for their futures.
Vocational and technical training is available at area community colleges. And nearby four-year colleges and universities offer virtually any field of study from information technology and graphic arts to veterinary medicine and engineering. Click on the links below for more information.
