Denver Discovery School is where together, everyone is “Awakening the Sleeping Giant-Soaring to New Heights”. The school’s mission is to value every child’s individualized intellectual and social strengths through rigorous, purposeful, and relevant learning and leadership opportunities. Denver Discovery serves students in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades and offers afterschool tours for fifth-grade students wishing to attend the following year. Aside from the school’s general education classes, it provides every student a chance to improve their talents or learn new ones via electives such as physical education, enrichment programs, and extra curriculum activities. Denver Discovery offers an array of resources for parents and students, including help with school supplies. Denver Discovery’s school committee brings families, staff, and community members together to create and implement a plan that promotes a high level of achievement within the school.

With a diverse student population and an academic curriculum to match, Denver Discovery School is striving to create lifelong learners with respectful, empathetic, and encouraging character traits that will help them achieve success inside and outside of school.

I am the shell of the person I once was because I attended this school. Teachers were dropping like flies while impressionable children watched helplessly. It was devastating to see the staff giving up on us during our most fragile moments. The school is a breeding ground for bullying, with homophobic, sexist, and racists slurs being used regularly. One of my classes did not have a teacher in it. I know of several students who have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and/or obsessive compulsive disorder since attending. Don't send your kids here.

Horrible, do not go to the school. Each year I thought I should pull my child from this school but I didn't because some of the teachers are good and he had good friends. Now I regret ever keeping him there for one year. Just this year they have had 3 principals, staff quitting as the Titanic, I mea...

Denver Discovery is a troubled school and I would not recommend it at this time. Staff turnover is high which is disruptive to learning. So far this year, my child has lost 3 teachers and I am aware of 3 others that have left as well. In addition, the principal, vice principal, and interim principal...
