We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Students are able to take college classes at school on Campus. Teachers encourage students to achieve. Weekly grade checks and sports support students to do their best. College acceptance is impressive.

The school is good but they need to challenge the students more. The good thing about the school is the fact that their main focus is that they help you a lot when it comes to college they help and encourage you to take classes. This is very helpful for the future because when they already out of high school they already have college credits such as myself.

As my last year here at Discovery Charter Preparatory High School.I could finally say that my 4 years here has been quite a bumpy road .As a freshman I was so afraid and not as determine as I am now as a Senior.I have seen myself grow so much as a individual and I have surrounded myself with so many good people. Although I would have loved to join soccer since the beginning these two years that I got the chance play has been the best experience of my whole life.I will for sure miss HighSchool once graduate but I will forever grasp my wonder experience here At Discovery Charter Preparatory.

A good school but honestly there's better schools. In my opinion I like LAUSD district schools better. They seem to have more time for students.
