DISCOVERY CHARTER II

Discovery Charter II is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Santa Clara County Office of Education school district, located in San Jose, CA with about 550 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. Student demographics can be found below. With about 22 teachers, Discovery Charter II has a student/teacher ratio of about 25:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Discovery Charter School II, located in the Blossom Valley area of San Jose, is a tuition-free public charter school serving students from transitional kindergarten through eighth grade. Founded as an extension of the original Discovery Charter School, the institution emphasizes a comprehensive, back-to-basics academic program that focuses on building strong foundations in core subjects like mathematics, language arts, and science. The school is known for its rigorous curriculum and its commitment to fostering an environment where students are challenged to reach their highest potential through structured learning and high academic standards.

Beyond academics, Discovery Charter II places a significant emphasis on character development and community involvement. The school operates with a "partnership" model, actively encouraging parents to be deeply involved in their children's education and the school’s daily operations. This collaborative atmosphere, combined with a dedicated teaching staff, aims to create a supportive community that prepares students for success in high school and beyond. By balancing academic excellence with a focus on responsible citizenship, the school seeks to provide a well-rounded educational experience within the San Jose Unified School District area.
