Advanced Course Options at DCSD

Students have opportunities to earn college credit and prepare for higher education while at Davenport Community Schools. Advanced Placement (AP) courses offer college-level curriculum and corresponding exams, potentially granting college credit based on exam performance. Eastern Iowa Community College provides concurrent enrollment programs, allowing students to take college courses and earn both high school and college credit simultaneously. These options are available to accelerate academic progress, reduce college costs, and enhance college applications for all students in the Davenport Schools. See the Course Guide for available classes and descriptions!
