"We moved here a month before the start of the school year from another state. My 7th grade daughter was petrified since she knew no one. The first day many kids introduced themselves to her in her classes and some invited her to sit with them at lunch. What a relief! She says it it the best school she has ever been. A true credit to the parents. The teachers all challenge her and a couple recognized the first week she belonged in the AP classes and made arrangements to keep her challenged and motivated. I have been very pleased with most of the teachers. As far as some of the complaints from reviews a couple years old: The school is not dirty. Maybe it was a couple years ago, but it is definitely cleaned up. I ask my daughter all the time about bullying...if she is a victim or sees it going on. She says no but obviously cant see everything. As a parent, STAY ON TOP OF IT AND DONT RELY ON THE SCHOOL TO HANDLE IT FOR YOU! Also my daughter is in art and the teacher never claims to have been a pink elephant..lol. Dont think twice about sending your kids here. It is a great school with challenging classes, a great sports program, a solid PTSA and friendly students."

"You will not find a better Middle School than Discovery Middle. From it's Administration to it's teachers and staff it is an amazing school. These teacher's put their hearts and souls into teaching and it shows every year when the school grades come out and Discovery is at the top of that list. Not only is Discovery an "A" school but a very high "A". The highest "A" in the county. To me that speaks volume about what is going on at the school. If you are looking for a great education, you will find it at Discovery Middle School."
