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.

I had a fun and exciting experience at discovery that readied me for college. I had lots of fun cracking jokes with the staff. You were able to tell the staff actually cared about your future. Thanks to the helpful teachers and principal I graduated as the schools salutatorian.

I have meet a few football players who have been kick out of the team after suffering an injury like torn ACL, broken leg, or just for not being athletic enough. The coaches have been know to help student/athletes who are failing classes but preform at an elite level. The coaches will ask teachers to raise their players grades so they can keep playing and winning.

Our cafeteria has a subway as well as a starbucks, and our own cafeteria with various options: pizza, salads with over 15 topping options, cereal, apples, pears, chinese food, french fries, season fries, chicken wings, burgers, vegetarian burgers, chips, shakes, ice cream. If that is not enough they even have various candy options and almost ever kind of dressing you can think off.
