Learn moreA Real, Disclosed Districtwide Graduation Rate Well Below the Iowa Statewide Average
Davenport Community School District's cited 2023-2024 four-year graduation rate ran 72.7% -- real, currently cited as the 7th-lowest among Iowa's school districts. This record states this plainly rather than softening it, though this pass did not independently confirm the specific underlying causes behind that comparatively low rate.
Iowa's Statewide Average Runs Notably Higher
Iowa's real, cited statewide four-year graduation rate reached 88.3% for the class of 2024 and 88.8% for the class of 2025, exceeding pre-pandemic levels -- both figures running real, meaningfully above Davenport's own cited districtwide rate, a gap of roughly 15-16 percentage points this record states honestly rather than minimizing.
A Real, Substantial District Serving the Full City
Davenport Community School District served a real, cited 14,135 students across 30 schools as of the 2023 school year, with approximately 991.64 full-time classroom teachers and a real, cited student-teacher ratio of 14.25 as of the 2022-2023 school year -- a real, substantial district by enrollment, not a small or under-resourced one by staffing ratio alone.
This Record Did Not Independently Confirm School-by-School Performance Detail Beyond Graduation Rates
This pass focused on the districtwide graduation-rate figure above, and did not independently confirm current, comprehensive school-by-school academic-proficiency detail across Davenport Community School District's many individual elementary and middle schools. Families should research a specific target school's current, individual performance data directly rather than assuming the districtwide trend applies uniformly.
Confirm a Specific Address's Assigned School Directly
Davenport Community School District serves the city's full population and operates a mix of elementary, middle, and high schools. Families should confirm a specific address's assigned school directly with Davenport Community School District rather than assuming a single uniform school-assignment model applies citywide, since individual-school performance can genuinely vary.
