Here are three acting schools:

They are not famous, but they may be good.
Frankly, I found them by Googling "iowa city acting schools"!

If you are talking about high schools, you had better call the local school board, or look at its web site

Search Theater Arts, and see a number of schools that teach acting in some way.

Do your research and congratulate yourself that you aren't one of those who want the magic short cut!
