Discovery Key Elementary School

I don't understand all the hate honestly, I'm a 24' grad and I've been in this school since 2019-2024. I'm a middle schooler now and honestly, I wish I can go back to my elementary years. The teachers over there are so helpful and help you learn a lot, they push you to always do better and don't get mad when explaining a topic. The safety here is top tier! If you're ever sad, the staff will always talk to you and ask what's wrong. This school is so good that my siblings enrolled. BEST SCHOOL EVER! 10/10, def recommend.

The previous principal was very involved, warm, amazing and created a positive and thriving environment that motivated and supported children and teachers and families in such a positive manner and welcomed diversity in so many ways. Students were really encouraged to "be the 3", helping them to take pride in themselves, and encouraged them to act morally with all others- which alleviated bullying, discrimination and reckless behaviors. Now it seems kids feel a little liberated to act out without repercussions or feeling bad about it- lacking moral compass at school. Gifted program was great before- a lot of engaging truly gifted projects and truly gifted learning, some teachers retired, and now kids are pressured on test scores- so more focus on academics testing. Truly gifted students need all different types of support. Kids should have a fun learning environment in elementary with innovative approaches to teaching. This is still a very good school, but a lot of parents I know applied for other school options this upcoming year. Hopefully the new principal can settle in and continue to extend warmth and care and an increased positive involvement for all- teachers, students, families- to continue this school's legacy!
