Summary:
The Mountain Discovery elementary school is the sole school in the Mountain Discovery Charter School district in North Carolina, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 193 students. While the school's overall performance is slightly below the state average, it has some areas of strength, particularly in the upper elementary grades.
Mountain Discovery's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 816 out of 1,502 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 923 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024. In terms of test scores, the school generally performs below the state average in both math and reading proficiency across all grade levels. However, there are some bright spots, such as 6th grade math where Mountain Discovery outperforms the state average, and in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade reading, where the school significantly outperforms the state.
Additionally, in 5th and 8th grade science, Mountain Discovery's proficiency rates are higher than the state average. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.9 is slightly higher than the state average, but the data does not provide information on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, which could be an important factor in understanding its performance. Overall, while Mountain Discovery may not be the highest-performing school in the state, it has some areas of strength and could be a viable option for families in the local area.
