Experience Davenport Community Schools!

Davenport Community Schools has the resources and unique programs of a large district with the small class sizes and hands-on approach of small-town schools.

With 30 school buildings serving the communities of Blue Grass, Buffalo, Davenport, and Walcott, our district is resource-rich, blending student and family support programs with a wide range of curricular offerings to create a customized learning environment for all students. We have high expectations, low class sizes, customized curriculum, and a caring learning environment.

Our approach to education encompasses the whole child, and services are available from preschool through post-secondary learning opportunities. We believe in education for all and meeting students where they are in order to teach each individual student. Using differentiated instruction, students are assessed in areas of knowledge, readiness, language, preferences in learning, and interests in order to customize teaching. In eighth grade, students adopt a five-year “career track” that guides them through their high school years and best prepares them for post-secondary education. Students who choose to enroll in a variety of dual credit courses can earn college credit at graduation.

Our extracurricular offerings are as diverse as our community. Davenport Community Schools has a rich history of award-winning fine arts programs as well as a strong athletic legacy with new state-of-the-art practice and competition facilities. Each school boasts a multitude of its own clubs that reflect the interest and make-up of the student body.
