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.

Discovery offers an alternative to conventional learning through an enhanced teacher-to-student ratio for 9th-12th graders. Students soon find that they can experience new opportunities, in an environment where they have a better chance to thrive...and potentially earn their diploma.
