My experience with this school was ok. The best parts were being with friends from the same class the worst was other friendships breaking apart and certain events at school. I would like to see change is the trust in counselors as well as more engaging things at the school.

My overall experience with Discovery high school is that the school itself and most of the teachers are good to students and know how to be professional. The best parts of my experience is that they have a good variety of different pathways that they let you choose which let you continue it throught all your years. I also like the diversity and inclusion of students inside of the school. I also like the different activities and events they have that even students themselves can help out and organize. What i would like to see change would be the time management of some certain parts in the school. This meaning i'd like them to be more organized with their time. What i would also say i like about the school World be is its architecture of the school itself. The school looks pretty in my opinion.

I have 2 students matriculation through Discovery - one is about to graduate. Our experience with Discovery has been a positive one. Is it perfect? No, but what school is? Like others, they've had to change principals, had teacher turnover, and lack of development in the sports area. I think the lac...

I recently visited Discovery to register my daughter, and unfortunately, our experience was not a positive one. Tyese Miller, the counselor we interacted with, was dismissive, condescending, and repeatedly spoke over us. Her demeanor was far from welcoming, which was especially disappointing given t...

As a recent graduate from Discovery High School, I would like to express my gratitude to the front office workers who work so hard to help families and still maintain a positive work space for their coworkers and aids.

At first, I didn’t expect much from Discovery High School. I saw the ratings online and honestly had no hope. But once I actually started going here, joined clubs, got involved in classes, and met the teachers, I realized it’s not what people make it seem. I’ve moved around to other schools that wer...
