Davenport appeal to WIAA is denied

DAVENPORT—Despite advocacy from School District administration, Davenport will remain a 2B school for at least the next four years. Davenport’s appeal to move down to 1B was rejected by the WIAA last weekend after the Northeast 1B League voted against accepting Davenport into the league.

The WIAA released classification numbers for the 2024-28 cycle Sunday, Jan. 21. Davenport came in at 131.88 students, which is the number of ninth through 11th grade students adjusted for direct certification.

Seniors are not counted when determining classification numbers.
