The Silvis School District has a strong commitment to providing students with a rigorous, well-rounded education in a caring and supportive environment.  A continuous improvement model of district and school improvement drives the change process in our district.  Administration, faculty, staff, and parents work together to analyze data, plan for change, create action plans, and evaluate data to determine the impact of change.   We believe our students are much more than a test score. Service to the community, preparation for the next level of education, and the development of future leaders is emphasized in the Silvis School District. The Silvis School District #34 is located in the region known as the Quad Cities, bordering the Mississippi River. We are a Pre-K through 8th grade school district with an enrollment of over 650 students.
