Teachers do the best with what they have. I have 3 children who attend this school. Only 2 have had a good experience. My middle child who is in 4th grade I can't say that has been the same. The teachers for this grade are failing the students and something needs to change, when all students are failing or have low grades it is not the children but the educator. I have been in contact with the office but there is only so much that can be done, unfortunately.

RGSA is by far in my opinion the very best in Polk. The teachers and staff are so very involved in helping each and every student achieve their full potential. My son has been there for 2 years now and each year I worried like every parent " Will this years teacher be what my son needs to succeed"?And each I have been amazed at how well he aclimates to his new class and his grades have been As and Bs all year. When learning to read I dont how she did it but, kuddos to Mrs. Kline because when he realized he could read he was so proud and shocked at how easy it was. I am so proud of everythign he has accomlished in his 2 years at RGSA. Last year in kindergarten Mrs. Sparr made it so easy for him to learn what school is about and he absolutely adores her and so many of the other staff members. I can honestly say I am super proud to be a part of the RGSA family. Thank you RGSA for being so awesome and teaching my son how to be a smart successful member of society.

My experience at Davenport High School was overall disappointing. The academic environment lacked real engagement, with many teachers showing little interest in their students' learning. Assignments were often submitted without ever being reviewed, yet students frequently received perfect scores regardless of the effort or quality. Most instruction consisted of reading directly off PowerPoint slides followed by an online quiz, with minimal interaction or meaningful teaching.Beyond the classroom, the school's leadership was just as disorganized. The principals, deans, coaches, and athletic directors often seemed to be operating in opposition to one another—frequently butting heads and sending mixed messages to students. This lack of unity created confusion and inconsistency across the school. There was also a noticeable culture of favoritism, with certain students being given clear preference, especially in athletics and extracurriculars, while others were overlooked or unsupported.Overall, there was very little sense of community or care at Davenport High School. Students who needed help often didn’t receive it, and the environment felt more fragmented than collaborative. I would not recommend this school to anyone looking for a supportive, cohesive, or academically serious environment.
