2020 Best Schools in the Quad Cities AreaAbout this List

Rivermont Collegiate

• Private School
• Bettendorf, IA
• PK, K-12
• 47 reviews

Parent: My child has just finished his fifth year at Rivermont Collegiate, and I couldn't be happier with either the experience or the education he is receiving. As a university professor, I greatly appreciate the skills that my son has developed since he started Rivermont as a grade-school student. From public speaking to Rivermont's Academic and Tech Fairs he and his friends have been able to deep-dive into a variety of subjects, as well as experience them hands-on through numerous learning opportunities. This will only be enhanced by the STEAM building that Rivermont is constructing. Beyond learning how to effectively take in and retain the material they are taught, my son and his classmates are encouraged to create new and innovative ideas. They will begin university with an intellectual and study-skills toolkit that many undergrads spend their entire time at college building. I cannot recommend this school highly enough.

Senior: Pleasant Valley offers many opportunities for students. There are many clubs, sports and music organizations that all students are welcome to join. Students are also able to create their own clubs if they get approval for them. This allows the students to become involved with the school and meet new people. Another opportunity to get involved through the school is by joining Spartan Assembly. This organization is the student council for PV and creates real-world like jobs for the students. Aside from clubs, PV has one of the biggest and most talented bandanna in Iowa. The marching band at PV is as big as the state schools’ in Iowa!

• 1 review

Parent: We moved from the Pleasant Valley Elementary school district, which is the #1 elementary school in our district, to Cody Elementary which is a MUCH SMALLER rural school. We were amazed at the student teacher ratio and the how much the teachers were committed to teaching. These teacher CARE about the students in their classes and really care about each student and there learning capabilities. I am so proud that our twins went to Cody. I consider it the BEST ELEMENTARY in the Pleasant Valley School District.

Senior: 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!

Assumption High School

• Private School
• Davenport, IA
• 9-12
• 108 reviews

Parent: As a parent, my only complaint would be fewer choices for classes. I would love for my children to have more options for their class choices other than the basics. We have made the choice to go without choices so our children can go to a school where they feel safe walking the halls without seeing fights take place. The classes they do offer, are challenging and are preparing my children to be successful in their future learning as they move onto college. With the small class sizes, the teachers get to know the students well. These smaller class sizes also help to limit disruptions from students so the teachers are able to cover all the needed content.
Assumptions has a great Athletic program, all students are invited to participate. They have many sports that have made it to and won state many times. Extra curricular activities are encouraged by both teachers and administration.

Alleman High School

• Private School
• Rock Island, IL
• 9-12
• 69 reviews

Senior: My experience at Alleman High School was great. All four years were amazing and there was always something to do. From to sports to clubs, Alleman is the place to be involved in. Alleman is a school that cares about their students ans diversity. Alleman is a college prep high school. Alleman wants each student to be successful in and outside of school. Alleman is also a place where we surround ourselves through the catholic faith. Each month we have all school masses, adoration, or prayer services. Alleman is a place that has helped me push myself in and outside of school. I would not choose any other school but Alleman. Alleman has a special feeling to it. Alleman is a school that welcomes everyone, it does matter if you are catholic, not catholic, or even a different religion. I would not change a thing about Alleman High School.

Senior: Geneseo High School is an amazing educational facility. Your well being and education is always held in high regard. The teachers are kind, caring, and always willing to help you with problems in or out of the classroom. The atmosphere is always good and I always feel safe on school grounds. The only problem with our school is that it’s pretty secluded from the rest of the world and there is very little diversity, but with a small town this is very common.

North Scott Senior High School

• North Scott Community School District, IA
• 9-12
• 145 reviews

Sophomore: North Scott High School has something for all students. Whether it is fine arts or athletics, there is a wide variety of things to be involved in. Along with soaring extra-curricular activities, the teachers and overall academics are at a high level, offering multiple AP classes and honors level classes. If they do not have a class you are interested in taking, they either create the class or let you go to the nearby community college to pursue it! The counselor care about all students and work very hard to make sure each student is in a good place at all times. Very nice facilities for all activities. All the kids who go here are inclusive and care for one another. The only thing that this school lacks is diversity. This is a school made up of many high-class white families. Overall, North Scott is a wonderful place, and the slight issues can always be fixed!
