The school's 4th-grade students scored an impressive 62.5% proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, significantly outperforming the state average of 41.4%. However, the school's ILEARN/Math proficiency rate of 44.05% is lower than its English Language Arts performance, though still above the state average.
While Discovery Charter School's academic performance is generally strong, the school faces some challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state's desired target of 10% or less. The school's per-student spending of $8,602 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.1 suggest that the school is effectively allocating its resources to support student learning and provide a smaller, more personalized learning environment.
