Steps to Success

The Davenport Community School District strives to ensure that all students are prepared for their postsecondary goals.

Whether a student plans to attend a four-year college, enlist in the armed services, or begin their career after graduation, DCSD is committed to supporting students as they take the next step in planning for their future. 

In order to best support our students in their postsecondary goals, DCSD holds a  week of capstone testing called Steps to Success Week for all DCSD High School Juniors. Steps to Success will be held March 31-April 2 for the 25/26 school year. During this week, students will take one assessment that matches their postsecondary plans and participate in activities to inspire them to plan for their postsecondary goals.

But, you do not need to be interested in going into the military to take the ASVAB as a method to explore careers.
