Summary:
The Discovery Charter School district in Minnesota contains a single school: Discovery Charter Elementary School, a K–8 school serving 166 students at 4100 66th St E in Inver Grove Heights, MN 55076-8888. Because it is the only school in the district, district-level and school-level results are identical. The school holds a 3-star rating and places 209th of 458 Minnesota districts (54th percentile). Its state school rank rebounded from the 51st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 62nd in 2025–2026, after the 63rd in 2023–2024. The student-teacher ratio is 9, and 39.76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
In 2025–2026, all-grades reading was 52.4% proficient against a state figure of 48.6%, and science was 34.4% against 25.5% — both above state. Math was 43.8% versus 44.9% statewide, just 1.1 points below. The school improved in every subject year over year while state averages slipped slightly: math rose 6.69 points, reading 2.94 points, and science 19.4 points, climbing from 15% to 34.4%.
Grade-level results vary widely. Third grade math reached 83.3% versus 57.9% statewide (+25.4), fifth grade reading 80% versus 54.5% (+25.5), and fifth grade science 50% versus 25.9% (+24.1). By contrast, fourth grade reading was 25% versus 48.8%, fourth grade math 35.7% versus 55.2%, sixth grade math 20% versus 39.5%, and eighth grade math 23.1% versus 42.3%. Seventh grade math and reading figures are suppressed by the state to protect student privacy, so those cannot be evaluated. With roughly 20 students per grade, a single student can shift a grade-level rate by several points, making swings between grades and years less stable than in a larger school.
