This School’s Reviews
Niche Reviews
4/2/2026
This school is very great at preparing students for college and life while also getting that high school experience unlike other schools around here.
8/28/2024
I love Discovery High School, the community is welcoming and engaging. It's a very small school so we do not have as much as other schools might but it makes it more enjoyable to know everyone there.
8/29/2023
Discovery is honestly such an amazing school to attend if you're looking for that college experience or wanting to be treated like a real human. You are truly seen at Discovery as we are always getting together as a school and doing fun activities. You get to experience a different high school feeling. You also get the opportunity to do more things you wouldn't be able to do elsewhere.

4/23/2020
My experience so far is great, they give AP courses which is great for your GPA and College. The honor clases are great, and the courses that are offered, give you a chance to experience and learn about different things. The school also makes you feel like a family, and they dont single you out.
8/27/2019
Has been an excellent Honors/AP & College Ready school for our son. He is in his Sr year and has loved all the classes/subjects offered and the opportunity to take local community college class pathways as well. Every school has its struggles so it is not perfect but has been an overall great experi...
4/10/2018
I had a tough middle school, and often was left behind in lessons and was bullied by the kids. When I came to Discovery, it was like heaven. Everyone here is nice and welcoming. Most of us are nerds, so we have a lot of common interests. The teachers are amazing, not perfect, but getting there. When...
9/27/2016
Our community is lucky to have such an awesome school. Teachers teach kids how to think, not what to think. My son has done fantastic his four years there. And Mr. Robinson is commited to the students and improving our education system. You simply cannot go wrong with Discovery.
