Bettendorf is a really good school to enroll in because it is near nice neighborhoods and the community is awesome and safe. the teachers at bettendorf high school care about their students and so does the administration. The classes prepare you for real world experiences and situations and would just be a great place to go to school at. The sports are also great because they have a great fan base and good coaches.
