Elementary Schools in Discovery Woods

There is only one elementary school located in Discovery Woods, Minnesota - Discovery Woods, a public charter school serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 104 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Minnesota elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years.

Academically, Discovery Woods has shown mixed performance, with some grade levels and subject areas outperforming others. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's math proficiency rate was 25%, compared to the state average of 45.21%, while its reading proficiency rate was 41.67%, slightly below the state average of 49.59%. The school's science proficiency data was unavailable for the current year, but in the previous year, it was 40%, slightly above the state average of 39.56%. This uneven academic performance across grade levels and subjects suggests the school may be facing challenges in providing consistent, high-quality education.

One potential factor contributing to the school's academic challenges is its high percentage of students receiving free and reduced-price lunch, at 67.31% in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic outcomes. Additionally, with a relatively small student population of 104, Discovery Woods may face unique resource and staffing constraints that could further contribute to its academic performance issues.
