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.

going to discovery high school was a very interesting experience. Even with the minimal amount of classes the people around were the ones who made it better. The teachers were as helpful as they could be in the positions they were in.

The staff, teachers and the principal all have many expectations from each student. They make sure the school community is welcoming and makes many students feel motivated. They are open for suggestions and try to make it a better place each day. It can be hard to understand the school but as you engage more and more you see the actual meaning and message the school has with their quotes and logo of the school.

My overall experience as a student at Discovery High School was a pretty good one. Most of the staff were very kind, helpful, and supportive. They were also very open to hearing what students had to say/ advice students had to offer to help improve the class or school.

This school is great, though it changes, and most changes are based off the behavior of the 100th of students, which is terrible :/. Other than that, the staff is very welcoming and friendly to talk with, the teachers are Great at their job( just that most students don't see that), and the environme...
