GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

We have enjoyed our experience at Discovery Elementary. We are involved parents with our students education and perhaps that makes a difference. We take the initiative to make sure our student knows what is expected of them and purchase books and attend other after school programs to enrich his academics. But overall, we are very happy with Discovery and so are many of the parents we interact with.
