History
Bettendorf Community School District was officially established in 1907, shortly after the town of Gilbert was renamed to Bettendorf. In its early years, the district operated on a smaller scale. Without a dedicated secondary facility, students usually went to other local high schools in Davenport or LeClaire.
In 1951: Bettendorf High School opened up, during its beginning years: it was grades 7 - 12, which is now 9 - 12. In the 1960's: Rapid enrollment led to a temporary space crisis, leaving the district renting store fronts as classes. In 1971 (Just 20 years after Bettendorf High School opened up): The high school facility on 18th Street was completed, and at the time: was surrounded by Agricultural land.
To this day: it's now known as a powerhouse for high school sports in Iowa, and a 90% graduation rate.
