Bettendorf is an overall outstanding school district. Bettendorf has provided me many great teachers that go above and beyond to help all students. Bettendorf high school also has a great number of faculty members that provide everything the students may need. Bettendorf also is a very nice school and provides many outstanding facilities including a weight room, a football field, an auditorium, and many more facilities are provided. Students are also in a safe environment given that a school police officer and security guard are on the campus as well. Bettendorf is an overall wonderful community!

The people at Bettendorf High School are amazing, as I often find myself admiring. The students are incredibly helpful to one another and it is amazing to watch them socialize with one another. The overall community within the school is phenomenal. I wish the high school were more diverse though and I believe that some of the rules put into place are unnecessary, including the ban of drinks in the school and no earbuds in the hallway. Overall, I love the high school and I believe we have some of the best students, teachers, athletes and coaches in the building!
I do believe this school cover the important thing like education. Bettendorf High School also do fun random activite, example this week there a just for fun activitie we students can play basketball against the teacher there also something were we bring pop tabs in and put them in a bin with a teacher which ever has the most drinks a happy meal smoothie. I also haven’t found any teachers that isn’t willing to help you if you need it. There is also a thing called pride we’re you get a hour in the middle of the day of school to get help with teacher or just do something fun. My over all feeling of the school is great!
