Both my daughters attended DMS and we were very pleased with their academic achievements. They also had a variety of sports and clubs to choose from. Love this school!

It is awesome. It gives kids choices like kids being able to choose their own electives but it lays down the law such as if kids are late to class they get detension. It has a brand new cafeteria with booths, hightops, and more. If you want to go to the best school come to Discovery Middle School. You will be an awesome panther!!!

I had 2 kids go through Discovery - one didn’t do any extra curricular activities, the other played basketball & baseball. Overall, both had a positive experience. My younger child attended during Covid & while things were a little chaotic at first, I truly believe the staff did the best they could...

This school does not care about the welfare of its students. It lifted its mask mandate with no notice so parents were blindsided by the change. It did not make any accommodations to keep students who wanted to wear masks and be safe. Students have no choice but to interact with people who might car...

Really great school. Has very good teachers that teach. People are saying that the teacher don't look at the kids assignment, well each teacher has 4 classes with about 23-25 children inside each class. They could easily miss an assignment. Overall, this school is really good!
