Doesn't Iowa City have a third HS now, Liberty HS in North Liberty?I wonder if the eastern schools regressed or if the metro schools just greatly surpassed them in talent/money. Iowa City has really grown over the last 30yrs, probably on par with DSM metro percentage-wise. Not sure what explains that switch and drop-off
I don't believe there is any mystery here. Des Moines is the largest city in the state and is the fastest growing metro* in the Midwest. Do an internet search on:
"des moines midwest fastest growing metro register"
Leave "register" out if you want fewer articles from the des moines register.
This is the very reason 5A was added, fast-growing DM suburbs.
* edit. “major” metro. fastest growing among the biggest Midwest metros.
