Terrible school, my child was bullied there when she was in kindergarten by 1st graders. The counselor actually had to teach her how to tell and say, "don't hit me!"The principal is bad, she likes to talk but do nothing.
Posted by a parent on 1/17/2026DCS is not just a school — it really feels like one big family. As a parent, you can go into the classroom and get to know your child’s teachers, classmates, and friends, which gives you a lot to talk about with your child. My daughter has made many wonderful friends there, and as parents, we’ve als
Posted by a parent on 10/17/2025If your kid is different in anyway the teachers and parents will take advantage of that. If your kid isn't a little adult, sitting quietly for hours at a time, they will assume your kid is bad. The school picks sides by the color of your skin and racism was OK as long as you weren't "white". The tea
Posted by a parent on 8/27/2025I was at discovery last 2 years. let me say, the experience is GREAT.
Posted by a student on 8/8/2025Discovery Charter School has been nothing short of amazing for our family! After a difficult experience where my daughter fell through the cracks at her previous school, DCS has been a complete turnaround. From the moment we joined, the support has been incredible. The teachers and staff truly care

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe quality of academics are much lower than high rated public schools and based on their tuitions, they don't provide the academic services.They don't have too much activities, the only provided sport's program is West Valley dance, which is in entire of their group, but it is too expensive, because they are charging monthly and all academic Holidays, federal holidays and state holidays have off without any makeup!Their ratio in average is 20:1, completely different than their website. If you asked them, they say clear that their websites are not updated and they won't to update either, because they want to have their business only and nobody cares that. But remember if you ask them before the enrollment, they confirm their websites. I am sorry for an academic system that teach to their kids to be not honestly, if you want to make money!!! During the COVID, they follow only a part of guideline, which doesn't effect on their business. If they follow the guidelines, the classes should not be more than 15 kids with 6 feet spaces apart, but some classes, even higher levels like 3th and 4th, have 22-23 kids in one room!!! I can't find any point to invite you for enrolling your kids!!!Parent Review5y ago - Trust Montessori School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLittle Tree Montessori in Campbell is a fantastic find. The dedicated teachers, with consistent English and Chinese instructors in each classroom, create a supportive environment for both children and parents. Even the youngest students (starting at 18 months) learn foundational skills like sharing and social interaction, alongside early literacy and numeracy. The school also emphasizes performance, which builds valuable public speaking skills. We were impressed by how well the preschoolers thrive with the Montessori approach. The optional daily hot lunch, featuring both Chinese and American options, is a convenient bonus for busy families. Compared to other local programs, Little Tree offers excellent value. Both of my sons have thoroughly enjoyed their time at the school, benefiting from the curriculum and the caring teachers.Parent Review1y ago - The Harker School
