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.

My overall experience with Discovery High School has been great. It provides many opportunities to students academically. If you wanted to be in an advanced class or be in dual enrollment you can choose that. Also their are many career and college events that help student apply to colleges and learn what they want to be when their older.

Discovery High School was not a great school, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a bad school. If I could go to another school in the district, I would choose Discovery over any school. It was an experience like no other attending Discovery and mainly the best parts were the people I was around.
