2022-23 enrollment figures of Iowa high schools

The Iowa High School Athletic Association has released the BEDS Documents for the 2022-23 school year. The file is used to classify schools for postseason tournaments.

Numbers are based on students in grades 9-11 from the present school year.

Linn-Mar remains the largest school in the area — and fifth in the state — with a BEDS enrollment of 1,733, an increase of 67 students from the previous count.

All three Cedar Rapids Community School District high schools have recovered somewhat after a sharp decline last year. Washington is back up more than 100 students, Jefferson 77, Kennedy 48.
