Summary:

The Davenport Community School District in Iowa operates 27 schools, including 18 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 4 high schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as high-performers, including Blue Grass Elementary School and Buffalo Elementary School, which consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state. Meanwhile, Walcott Intermediate is a middle school that performs better than many others in the district. However, the district's high schools generally struggle, with proficiency rates well below state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.

Across the district, there are significant disparities in academic performance, with a strong correlation between a school's percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and its test scores. Addressing these achievement gaps, improving attendance rates, and supporting economically disadvantaged students will be critical priorities for the Davenport Community School District moving forward.
