Summary:
The Bettendorf Community School District in Iowa is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district as a whole is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement in overall academic performance.
Two schools stand out in the district: Paul Norton Elementary School and Grant Wood Elementary School. Paul Norton consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Iowa, with exceptional academic performance and a relatively affluent student population. Grant Wood is also a strong performer, with solid academic results and a more diverse student body that includes a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients.
The other schools in the district, Mark Twain Elementary School, Herbert Hoover Elementary School, and Neil Armstrong Elementary School, tend to have lower test scores and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The district-wide variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios suggest that factors beyond funding and class size may be driving the observed differences in academic performance.
