One QC School Tops The Best In The State List

The best public schools in the state of Iowa have been named and one QC school made the top three.

The good news is there are several that score A+ from Niche, the website that published the results of the rankings. The ratings are based on academics (60% of the total score), culture and diversity (10 percent), surveys on the overall experience of the school from both parents and students (10 percent), and a grade of the school’s teachers (10 percent). There are other factors, but they are scored at a much smaller percentage.

Three eastern Iowa schools received A+ rankings. The top high school in the Iowa Quad Cities is my alma mater, Pleasant Valley High School at number three and earned an A+. Bettendorf comes in at #13.
